Presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, is demanding the whereabouts of the 12,000 kilometres of roads the government claims to have constructed across Ghana.
The former president said there is a lack of visible evidence to show the 12,000 kilometres of roads constructed by the government.
Speaking during a campaign event in the Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfrom constituency, Mahama assured the people that a new NDC government under his watch would conduct an audit to verify where the roads have been constructed.
“Everywhere I go, every traditional ruler who has spoken has complained about the poor road network. And I am saying that the NPP says that in the eight years of [John Agyekum] Kufuor, he did 3000 and something kilometers of roads. In NDC, they say we did 4,700 kilometers of roads. And they alone have done 12,000 kilometers of roads.
“And the question I am asking is, where are those roads? Because everywhere I go, the main complaint is about the road network. So I don’t know [where the roads are].
“Well, I have not been to Abuakwa and Kyebi, where the president comes from. But I hear the roads [there] are very good so maybe that is where the 12,000 kilometers of roads are.
“And so when we come, the new roads they said they have done, I will audit them to find out where the money that has been paid for 12,000 kilometers of roads has gone because we can’t find those roads.”
