There is going to be a construction of the landing site.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said it would have been a different case should Bawumia had said he did not promise to build a harbour in Cape Coast during the interview instead of Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s deliberately orchestrated by people to create an impression there is confusion. The president said I never promised to refer to his person. As in, he never stood anywhere to say I will build a harbour. I\u2019m talking about Akufo-Addo then someone says that but Bawumia said it. Yes it\u2019s true Bawumia said it, but if you had interviewed Bawumia he wouldn\u2019t say I never said it,\u201d He said on TV3\u2019s Big Issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said even though he can contend the fact that it was contained in the party\u2019s manifesto that they will build a harbour in Cape Coast, he believes there was a mistake in capturing of Harbour instead of the landing beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026It is really unrealistic to have the kind of harbour we have in Takoradi in Cape Coast. Anything you do to help the fisher folks will amount to the landing beach. We will not say it\u2019s zero in Cape Coast, we are still committed to having a structure on the coast which is a landing beach as for that one the president reaffirmed. I can\u2019t contend you if you say what in the manifesto is not the same. I don\u2019t believe that the president deliberately will tell you I want to build a habour so your expectation goes high and we really know that it\u2019s a landing beach I don\u2019t believe that is the case. If there is anything I think we were not careful with the capturing,\u201d He concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been mixed reactions by Ghanaians after the president said he never promised to build a harbour in the region but he is committed to constructing a landing beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who was addressing the party members in August 2020 said they will establish an airport, harbour to boost tourism and economic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe will accelerate our investments in roads, railways, and ports. And for the people of Cape Coast, I have good news for you. We are building a new harbour in Cape Coast and a new airport in Cape Coast. It is very critical that we do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAn airport makes a lot of sense in Cape Coast. It\u2019s a real tourism hub. Between Greater Accra and Kumasi and Cape Coast, you have a triangle that is really a hub of economic activities. It is a major growth pole If we put an airport there to drive infrastructural growth\u201d, he promised while reading excerpts of the manifesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ghanaians have been left in shock after Akufo-Addo said his government never pledged to build a harbour during his tour in the region on Monday, October 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2022 Dr Bernard Okoe-Boye has said Akufo-Addo was right for denying he did not promise a harbour \u2022 He said Akufo Addo meant he didn\u2019t say it in person \u2022 He adds that the promise of building a harbour in Cape Coat was captured wrongly Former Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku Constituency, Dr Bernard Oko-Boye, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
