Ignore NPP’s “wicked lies” about Volta region – Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has touted the achievements of his government in the Volta region, describing as ‘wicked lies’, claims by his political opponents that nothing has been done in the region.

The President, who is on a 5-day campaign tour to the region ahead of the December 7 elections, said the area, which is the ‘world bank’ of the NDC, has witnessed massive investments in various sectors including education, health, social and economic infrastructure in the last four years.

He cited the expansion of potable water coverage in the region from 39 percent in 2012 to the present figure of 70 percent as one of his many achievements in the Volta region.

“If there is one area that this government has been very successful and has invested heavily in the Volta region, then it is in the area of water supply. In 2012, when I became president, the region has only 39.74 percent coverage of water, today as I speak; more than 70 percent of the people of Volta region have access to clean drinking water.”

“And that is based on projects that we have completed, if you add the projects that are ongoing, by the time we complete all those projects, the Volta region will have higher than the national average, which is 76 percent,” Mahama stated at the inauguration of Water Supply System at Kpando Monday.

He added: “So if some people say, no work has been done in the Volta region and continues to propel that propaganda, it is not based on the fact. It is done for political reasons, which is a very wicked lie.”
