Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has lashed out at the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for calling him and the NPP ‘liars’ after mooting the idea of the SinoHydro road projects.
Speaking on Monday, September 26th 2022 during the commissioning of the Cape Coast Inner City roads, the latest stretch of the SinoHydro road project to be commissioned, the Vice President said instead of the NDC to read and find out what they (NPP) mean when they say something, they just reply that they’re lying.
“I am particularly happy today because when we first mooted the idea of the SinoHydro road project after my visit to China in 2018, many of our political opponents said that what we were proposing to do under the SinoHydro road projects was not possible. They said we were lying,” Dr. Bawumia said.
“But today marks yet another day of the commissioning of yet another SinoHydro project. Unfortunately for some of our opponents, when we say something and they don’t understand, instead of asking for an explanation and also reading about it, they don’t like to read, they don’t want to ask for an explanation; they just say you’re lying. But today, as we commission the road, they are silent. They are no longer saying it is not possible.” Bawumia jabbed.
A total of 441 km of road and two interchanges are to be constructed for the project, to “help intra urban, regional and national traffic flow and to strengthen regional economic integration”, the Vice President disclosed.
Bawumia cut the sod for the project on 21st November 2019, work started in December 2019 over 30 months duration and had been completed on schedule.
The Construction of the Cape Coast Inner City Roads is part of the Master Project Support Agreement (MPSA) between the Government of Ghana and the Peoples Republic of China through SinoHydro Corporation.
A total of 441km of roads and two interchanges are part of Phase 1 of the agreement, which, among others, include a 100km Kumasi Inner City Roads, the on-going Takoradi interchange the first ever interchange in the north, the Tamale Interchange and the Jasikan-Dodi-Pepeso road.
