What she is saying is an insult to Ghanaians and she shouldn\u2019t have said that in the first place. Based on what she is saying, development in Ghana is widespread?\u201d he queried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comparing the past government led by former President John Dramani Mahama to the ruling government, the governance expert noted that under the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama administration, Ghana saw immense development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview with the media Sefah-Danquah on the Epa Hoa Daben political talk show, he cited, \u201cThe Ashanti Region had the Kejetia Market, Cape Coast had the Kotokuraba Market and all these were during the tenure of former President Mahama. Now, what market has her husband built? Under John Mahama every region got a regional hospital and I ask again which hospitals have been built under her husband\u2019s regime?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To him, it is just sorry for the ruling government to build a kindergarten in a single district and call it development. \u201cThey shouldn\u2019t even bring these things to the table for discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visibly angry governance expert called for the government to consider seriously all aspects of national development and advised people with little to no knowledge of development to stay clear of the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ghana\u2019s Second Lady, Samira Bawumia says the achievements of the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia administration are dotted across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samira Bawumia says through the Ministry of Special Development Initiative, every constituency in Ghana has witnessed various forms of development in the first term of the administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at a forum in the UK, Samira Bawumia said Ghana has seen more development under the NPP government than any government in the Fourth Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She stressed that the Akufo-Addo government has worked to ensure that the country\u2019s resources are distributed evenly across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor those of us who have the honour of travelling around the country, there is no constituency that His Excellency Nana Akufo-Addo has not touched with development. That is the priority of our government to make sure that we spread evenly the resources of our nation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion\/advertisement?
