The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Eastern
Region has accused officials of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of
dishonesty and trying to mislead President John Mahama and residents of the
region.In a press statement, Nana Addo Kenneth, Okere constituency
secretary of the NPP, stated: “With President Mahama's impending visit to the
constituency, the NDC and the district assembly are quickly fixing an ICT
Resource Centre that was put up four years ago but was abandoned and left to
rot.”
He explained that “realising that there would be nothing to show to
the people of Okere and to tout in the media as an achievement of President
Mahama, they have placed workers on site working day and night so that President
Mahama would come and commission during his visit”.
According to him,
there would be the need to bring to the attention of the general public that the
ICT Resource Centre at Dawu was built four years ago and stocked with computers
but never became operational to the public.
“It rather became the
sleeping place of NDC footsoldiers as well as a washing bay. The MCE (Municipal
Chief Executives) about a year ago also came to take away all the computers for
obvious reasons,” he alleged.
He further explained that the building was
recently discovered to have serious cracks, indicating a “very shoddy” work done
by the people who put up the structure. |
