National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Mahama has criticized the administration, claiming that the six new Regions it established are merely names.
He was disappointed that the anticipated growth in these areas had not yet occurred.
In the Jakpa Palace, Mr. Mahama swore firmly that, should he be elected, he would give the development of the new regions top priority. He expressed how disappointed he was with the government’s choice to end the Damomgo Water Project.
The outgoing President emphasized the significance of concrete development programs in the recently established regions and promised to guarantee their advancement if granted the chance to take the lead.
The “Building Ghana Tour” of the NDC aims to take the concerns of the public to feed into the party manifesto for the upcoming election.
The tour of the Savannah Region made its first stop at the Jakpa Palace where there was a meeting with the Yagbonwura and the Savannah Regional House of Chiefs.
In a speech read on his behalf, Yagbonwura, Bii-Kunuta Jewu Soale I, admonished the Former President to seek to deal with issues of underdevelopment, poverty and unemployment among the youth.
