NDC Government Spent Over $450 Million On Non-existent Cocoa Roads But Akuffo Addo Is Fixing Them--Abronye D.C Alleges

The Bono Regional Chairman for the N.P.P Chairman Kwame Baffo Abronye D.C has said although the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) government spent over $450 million on non-existent cocoa roads in the country the N.P.P government is bent on fixing them.

He said former state officials under President John Mahama, who introduced the cocoa roads project, used it (project) to steal from the public purse.

Chairman Abronye was speaking at a commissioning of a 6 unit classroom block at Akwasua in the Sunyani West Municipality which was engineered by the Member of Paliament for the area, Hon Ignatius Baffour Awuah.

Reacting on the construction of rural roads he said government upon detecting fraudulent contracts awarded under strange circumstances had to suspend road construction under cocoa projects in order to procure value for money especially money coming from the sweat of modest cocoa farmers.

He said COCOBOD had to announced the suspension of the cocoa roads projects after an interim audit had revealed a lot of discrepancies in the actual amounts of money spent on the entire projects but recently roads constructions in the country have seen a tremendous increase.

According to him president Akuffo Addo stands for truth, accountability, transparency and above all value for money and therefore Ghanaians should renew the trust imposed in him coming 2020 elections.

Chairman Abronye stress that, government is working assiduously to fixed the bad roads in the country but may need an ample time hence a major reason he deserves another term in office.

According to him, President Akuffo Addo has awarded most of the deplorable roads for construction which the results will soon manifest itself not in the "green book" but will be a living testimony for all to see.
