The Ashanti regional branch of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has sharply criticised the administration, accusing it of ignoring and marginalising the Ashanti area in terms of development.
The party explicitly blames President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for what they see as a purposeful lack of attention and resources devoted to the region’s development.
During a press conference in Kumasi, Frank Amoakohene, the NDC’s Ashanti Region Secretary, expressed concern that the government appears to be intentionally depriving the Ashanti region of developmental projects, in contrast to other regions that are experiencing a consistent surge in infrastructural advancements.
Amoakohene urged the electorate to consider voting out the NPP in the upcoming 2024 polls, citing their dissatisfaction with the perceived neglect.
He emphasized the need for the government to expedite the completion of all stalled projects in the region.
“We believe that the Ashanti region has been sidelined, so far as development is concerned. And it’s even reflected in his appointments, ministers, Chief Executives and others.
“We believe that this current NPP set-up has nothing to offer the Ashanti region,” the Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC said.
