Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia is surprised that every transformational idea that has been introduced by the ruling government has been opposed by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He mentioned, in particular, the $2 billion Sinohydro Master Facility agreement, which was heavily opposed by the NDC, to the extent of the party writing a formal protest letter to the China government.
Dr Bawumia also mentioned the Free Senior High School policy, the introduction of Nation Builders Corps (NABCO), drones to supplement healthcare delivery, and the One District One Factory initiative as some of the policies the NDC opposed.
According to him, if the government had succumbed to pressure from its opponent, all the good policies the Akufo-Addo government was implementing would have been abandoned.
Vice President Bawumia was speaking at the sod cutting ceremony for the construction of a three-tier interchange in Takoradi.
The interchange, according to the Vice President, is part of five interchanges the ruling government had cut the sod for construction work to start, with funds being drawn from the Chinese Sinohydro Master Facility Mr Mahama and his NDC team are opposing.
“If we had listened to the NDC, which is opposed to transformational ideas, this interchange we have just cut sod for would not have happened,” he insisted. The Kwame Nkrumah interchange would be completed in 34 months.
The Western Regional Minister, Kwabena Okyere Darko, on his part, said he was happy the sod cutting ceremony had been performed for commencement of work on the interchange, which, according to him, would change the face of Takoradi.
He said considering that the main route for transport for the people of the region has been roads the completion of the interchange would bring a sigh of relief to commuters.
He, therefore, appealed to residents to endure the inconveniences the construction of the interchange may cause.
He, however, assured the residents that under the Akufo-Addo government, the region would receive its fair share of the national cake.
