Ashanti regional chapter of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), an opposition party, strongly criticises the government, alleging neglect and sidelining of the Ashanti region in terms of development.
Specifically, they point fingers at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, claiming a deliberate lack of attention and resources directed towards the region’s growth.
Frank Amoakohene, the Ashanti Region Secretary of the NDC, expressed concern during a press conference in Kumasi, highlighting the perceived intentional deprivation of developmental projects for the Ashanti region.
He drew comparisons with other regions experiencing consistent infrastructural advancements.
Amoakohene urged the electorate to consider voting out the NPP in the upcoming 2024 polls, citing dissatisfaction with the perceived neglect.
He emphasised the government’s need to expedite the completion of all stalled projects in the region.
“We believe that the Ashanti region has been sidelined, so far as development is concerned. And it’s even reflected in his appointments, ministers, Chief Executives and others.
“We believe that this current NPP set-up has nothing to offer the Ashanti region,” the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC said.
