The Leader and Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), former President John Dramani Mahama says there is only one way to lay to rest the debate over the infrastructural track records of his erstwhile administration and the incumbent Nana Akufo-Addo led administration.
This follows claims by Vice President Dr. Bawumia that the current administration was unrivaled by any administration when it comes to the delivery of infrastructure.
The Vice President claimed at a symposium that the Nana Akufo-Addo led record has done more infrastructure in less than four years than the John Evans Atta Mills and John Mahama administrations did in eight years.
This claim has however been dismissed by the NDC Flagbearer, former President John Mahama with some former appointees describing the infrastructure of which the current government is boasting as mediocre.
John Dramani Mahama has therefore availed himself for a debate between himself and President Akufo-Addo on the infrastructure records of the two administrations.
The former President made the proposal when he addressed the Chiefs and elders of Dzolokpuita in the Ho West constituency on day three of his four-day tour of the Volta Region.
John Dramani Mahama believes a public debate would settle the matter of which administration’s infrastructure record is superior.
“The President said this election is going to be an election of track records, comparing his track record to my track record and we can settle it easily. Let’s have a debate between the two presidents about our records,” he said.
Mr. Mahama said the NPP in 2016 spent a lot of time questioning the value his government placed on critical infrastructure and the investments it made in the area.
“In 2016 when I was talking about the value of infrastructure, my friends on the other side said, we don’t eat infrastructure, we don’t eat roads, that was what they said and today I can see a scramble to grab even KVIP’s and any infrastructure and tout it as an achievement”, he said.
