The Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak has chided Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia for touting President Akufo-Addo’s administration infrastructure development as unmatched.
The Vice President during the thanksgiving service by the New Patriotic Party in Accra on Thursday December 29, 2022 said the current administration has performed creditably when it comes to infrastructure development since Ghana gained independence.
According to him, the NPP administration under President Akufo-Addo has built more roads, factories, airports among other infrastructure works than any government.
Vice President Bawumia, touching on the construction of interchanges across the country, said “we have built more interchanges than any other government in the 4th Republic.”
“We have built more roads, there is no government that has built more roads than the government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
“We have built more factories than any other government since independence. We have built more airports than any other government,” Mr. Bawumia said to the cheering of the audience during the church service.
But, the Builsa South lawmaker disagrees.
Mr. Apaak stated that Vice President Bawumia may be hallucinating when he was addressing his party members.
“Tell me an airport BUILTH by the NPP? You consider counting filled potholes or patching portions of existing roads as CONSTRUCTING roads. You take supporting existing private factories with funding to be ESTABLISHING factories? And what data did he present in that fallacious rant?” the MP queried in a tweet.
He continued: “Is my Simon Fraser University senior, Vice President Bawumia, talking about another Ghana on another planet or is he hallucinating? I’m restraining myself not to call him comical.”
