Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, has criticized the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for allegedly spreading false information about the ongoing 8-lane Kasoa-Winneba Highway project.
In a strongly-worded Facebook post on Wednesday, August 28, Mr. Nkansah accused the NDC of misleading the public regarding the source of funds for the highway’s expansion.
According to Mr. Nkansah, the NDC’s claims that the project is being financed by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are entirely baseless.
He emphasized that the construction of the 30-kilometer highway, which is currently about 45% complete, is fully funded by the Government of Ghana.
“The 8-lane 30km Kasoa-Winneba Highway project is about 45% complete,” Mr. Nkansah stated. “The project is FULLY funded by the Government of Ghana and not ECOWAS as being peddled by the NDC.”
Mr. Nkansah further accused the NDC of deliberately spreading misinformation about government initiatives, suggesting that these tactics are part of a broader strategy to deceive Ghanaians ahead of the 2024 elections.
He urged the public to seek accurate information and not be swayed by what he described as the opposition’s attempt to mislead the electorate.
