Allegations that recent infrastructure improvements in the Kumawu Constituency are intended to sway voters ahead of the by-election have been refuted by the government.
The town has undergone substantial growth in the last few days after years of no notable improvements.
Numerous previously unpaved roads in the region have been paved, and additional road development is presently in progress.
Residents of Kumawu will choose a new MP on Tuesday, May 23, following the loss of Philip Basoah in March.
Some residents and the opposition National Democratic Congress see the new projects in the constituency as vote buying.
The Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwesi Amoako Atta, told reporters that these initiatives were already underway and were not a direct result of the upcoming by-election.
“The entire road project had already been procured for the contractor. The people of this area, from Juaben to Kumawu will be living witnesses of what is going to happen after the bye-election of May 23.
“They will see whether the contractor is going to stop work or not, and it will put to shame all this false information.”
