The Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akomea, has advised the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to hold back on its penchant to hype infrastructural projects.
Nana Akomea endorsed the recently inaugurated Circle Interchange –
controversially touted by the NDC as equal in standard to road infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates’ famed city of Dubai – but said the propaganda that was associated with the launch on Monday, November 15, 2016, was appalling.
Speaking on Newsfile on Joy FM/Multi TV Saturday, the NPP spokesperson said the proclivity of the incumbent party to over-hype infrastructural development in an election year takes the shine off the project.
"Circle has always been a traffic bottleneck. If it eases traffic the way we expect, it will be a good addition to the road infrastructure...the problem that comes all the time with the NDC is the propaganda and the exaggeration as if what has been done has not been done before. What is the point of telling us this the highest and longest interchange in West Africa? What is the point in that? he quizzed.
"When they were doing interchanges in Dubai didn't say this is New York," he said, adding it is the propaganda that has fuelled partisan criticisms of infrastructure projects under the NDC.

the interchange is nothing to write home about. Here in Washington DC there are hundreds of interchances on the washington Beltway alone, not to mention thousands more in Virginia, Maryland and in DC itself. What we have in Ghana is nothing to brag about. Ghanaians have forgotten that the defuct State COnstruction Corporation began the Achimota overhead at Apenkwa in 1974 and stalled on it till German company Weys & Freytag finished it in the 80s. Today, after 60years of independence, we have to bring Brazilians to build this thing and we are happy, The brazilians take 30% of the loan money as their profit!!!! Mahama is a stuuuuuuupid man who has no business running Ghana. What we want is employment so that GHanaians can pay for their livelihood and pay for taxes to make their hometown, villages and cities nice. Not a stupppppppidddd idddddiot who refuses to recover illegally paid judgement debt and goes about promising fuuuuuuuulishly whiles he accuses others of promising as welll. Please, Ghanaians, vote out this edddddddiot called Mahama. You will sufffer like never before if you let him stay as president. I will definitely join to vote him out.
