In the face of so many dire predictions of the future and so much uncertainties, where can we find reassurance?
Rest assured, history will always guide us into the future.
- “An airport in Cape coast is not yet justified” – Akufo-Addo
- Government will construct airport and harbour at Cape Coast” – Dr. Bawumia
Brethren, I will like to take this opportunity yet presented to clear few cobwebs as far as the ruling government is concerned.
Today?
1. Provision of Wi-Fi connectivity to SHS students
2. Building Airport and port at cape coast
Yesterday?
The same Dr. Bawumia came to cape coast telling the people of Cape Coast to go for their one million dollars at Accra before it is stolen! Indeed to his words the money never came.
Secondly, at the same venue where NPP launched its manifesto in University of Cape Coast (NEC, New examination center) this same Dr. Bawumia came to give a lecture to the university community about 2 and half yrs ago. And when he was done with his delivery, Professor Samuel Kobina Annim, the current government statistician and other lecturers pooh- poohed his lecture – questioning the data and figures. I recalled Professor Annim called him out and told him categorically that “Dr. Bawumia you’re not honest with the data you’re using,..etc.”
Not that alone, one level 200 student requested Dr. Bawumia to help the university community with WiFi services , as this has been a headache for the students body. I remember the answer provided by Dr. Bawumia as he giggled alongside that “even me as vice president I don’t have a WiFi connection in my office “,..we all thought it was a joke,..he meant every bit of what you just read.

Today what has changed?
We all do know NPP government has no track records in building of university,
We all do know NPP government has no track records in building of hospitals,
We all do know NPP government has no track records in building of data center,
We all do know NPP government has no track records in building of fishing harbour,
We all do know NPP government has no track records in building of Airport,
We all do know NPP government has no track records in building of water projects,
We all do know NPP government has no track records in building of roads,..and the list is endless.
What we do know is that NPP government has track records in borrowing from hair dressing salon and barbering shops,
What we do know is that NPP government has track records in building KVIP toilets,
What we do know is that NPP government has track records in building urinals,
What we do know is that NPP government has track records in borrowing for consumption.
We were in this country when president kufuor took pictures of monkeys dancing on trees as an achievement, recorded hand shake with chiefs as an achievement.
We were in this country when the npp accused Mahama administration of borrowing to the tune of 54 billion.
Under John Mahama we can talk of the building of roads, the schools, the port expansion, the data centers, the airport, the universities,..Dr. Edward Omane Boamah writes and I quote- “Over 800 kilometres Eastern corridor fiber from Ho in the Volta region through Oti, Northern, North East regions to Bawku in Upper East. In addition to 300 kilometres Metro fiber within Accra and Tema and 119 4G LTE sites across the country. Beyond infrastructure the eservices.gov.gh platform which was jettisoned was implemented alongside the epayment platform…”
We were in this country when the npp accused John Mahama administration of using close to 9 billion to service debt,
Whilst in opposition they said they won’t borrow, Today, not only has the NPP borrowed (over 140 billions) more than all past administrations from Dr. Nkrumah to Mr. John Mahama put together (which sum up to 120 billion), but is also using 21 billion to be servicing debt.
Where did we go wrong as a nation?
We must right the wrongs -NOW!
Rescue mission!!
