Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia took a swipe at former President John Dramani Mahama during the 8th Ghana CEO Summit, highlighting the Akufo-Addo administration’s significant achievements in advancing the country’s development agenda.
Dr. Bawumia emphasized that the current government’s developmental projects are tangible and easily verifiable, contrasting them with what he termed the “guinea fowl” projects of Mr. Mahama’s tenure.
Speaking at the summit on Monday, May 27, Dr. Bawumia underscored that the projects under the Akufo-Addo administration are real and trackable by the public. He argued that this transparency and accountability demonstrate the government’s commitment to genuine development efforts.
Participating in the summit via Zoom from Canada, Dr. Bawumia reiterated the government’s dedication to sustainable development. He noted that the strides made under the Akufo-Addo administration are not only visible but also have a lasting impact on the country’s infrastructure and economic growth. According to Bawumia, these accomplishments lay a solid foundation for future progress.
In his address, the Vice President outlined various projects undertaken by the current administration, including improvements in healthcare, education, and infrastructure.
He stressed that these projects have been executed with precision and are benefiting many communities across Ghana.
“There were no vehicles for some of the projects we have done. We have done over 200 projects in the area of zongo development across all the zongos in the country. You look at our investment in technical and vocational education, over six billion Ghana Cedis in the last 7 years.”
“The highest investment in TVET by any government in the fourth republic, and we’ve made technical and vocational education also free in that context. You see in terms of our development authority, there are 1,609 projects completed. And under the Northern Development Authority, it has also completed over 304 projects so far and so we are not talking about Guinea fowl projects but real projects,” he said.
