Chief of Takoradi, Osahene Katakyie Busumakura III has praised the efforts of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Government for the massive infrastructural developments in the Western Region, especially Takoradi.
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony to commence the construction of the first interchange in the Western Region christened, PTC interchange’ in Takoradi, he pointed out that Takoradi has become a major beneficiary of infrastructural projects over the past few years under the NPP administration.
According to the Chief, he and the people of Takoradi would be amiss if the Akufo-Addo led Government is not commended for transforming the area.
“I am here to congratulate and commend the President of Ghana, who is represented here by his Vice-President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia”, he emphasised.
He added, “I sit here as the Chief of this City and I have a responsibility to support the government of the day. I can say without fear that four years ago, I congratulated the NDC for opening a cold store. I was invited as a Special Guest. Why do you think I should not and congratulate the President of Ghana for bringing the first interchange to the Western region?”.
Vice-President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia at the sod-cutting ceremony stressed that the infrastructural projects the Government is implementing will help in the overall development of the nation.
“We have changed the face of Ghana, everywhere you go, you will see road construction going on. And in fact, if it had not been because of COVID-19, we would have cut the PTC interchange a month ago”, he divulged.
He commended the people of Takoradi for not being distracted by the arguments from the opposition National Democratic Government (NDC) against these developmental projects and instead trust in the Akufo-Addo led Government to deliver on its promises.
“If you had followed the NDC argument, none of these projects would have taken place in Ghana and so we are thankful that you did not listen to them”, Dr. Bawumia opined.
