Former President John Dramani is challenging the government to show what it has done with the GHC50 billion it has borrowed since taking over power in January 2017.
Prior to the 2016 elections, the then-opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) slammed the Mahama government for borrowing a total of GHS40 billion over an eight-year period claiming it was wrong.
Addressing delegates of Techiman South Constituency in Techiman on Monday as part of his tour of constituencies in the Brong Ahafo Region, Mr Mahama explained that the money borrowed by his administration was used for massive infrastructure development projects throughout the country.
According to im, there are "visible signs" all over the country of roads, hospitals, schools and rural electrification projects, among many others, which were undertaken by the NDC administration.
The former President said it is important that the Akufo-Addo government accounts to Ghanaians for what it has also used the GHC50 billion for.
Mr Mahama asked what could have prompted the NPP government to borrow a staggering GHC50 billion in less than two years in power, even though there is nothing to show for it.
“So, they should tell Ghanaians what they used the GHC50 billion they have so far borrowed for. Is it for road, hospital, or school, but clearly there is nothing to show”, he added.
Whilst pointing out that the government’s policies have brought untold hardship on Ghanaians, Mr Mahama promised to work hard to reduce the high cost of living in the country as well as provide jobs, when elected in the 2020 elections.
Touching on concerns that he is addressing national issues instead of concentrating on internal NDC issues, ahead of the flagbearership race, former President Mahama said "NDC delegates are also Ghanaians who deserve to know what is happening in the country".

A pathological liar is all I can say. The projects you shoddily did and didn't pay for them had to be paid by this govt. ***barred word*** YOUR MOUTH.
So who is this man's adviser?
Please spare us ok? are able to tell Ghanaian how much you borrowed in 8 years and what you used the money for? If he is using it wrongly, God will reveal it to us just as He reveal yours through the BUS BRANDING, ISOFOTON, WAYOME just to mention few. you know very well before God that you dont have the moral right to ask this question. my advise is that, if you think you are really sorry for what happened, repent and stop the lies. God is watching you!!!!
Your former Member of Parliament in Ejura Sekyere Dumase is praising the government on Planting for Food and Jobs. You are here castigating the government for not doing anything with loans taken. What a contradiction? Mahama, you had and did nothing for Ghana. At least it is on record that you took a Ford from Kanazoe for the Eastern Corridor Road and the walling of the the Ghana Embassy in Burkina Fasso. these are but a few corrupt acts you personally supervised and undertook. Planting for Food and Jobs is enough proof to us that Ghana is gradually working again. Can you please shut the hell up?
you are as retarded just like your boss, why would you see what has been done,.....YOU JUST WAIT 2020 NO FAR YOU'LL SEE THE RESULTS AND THIS TIME YOU'LL NOT ONLY FAINT BUT DIE
LOOK AT THESE NPP ED1EEEE00000T55555, DO YOU PAY A LOAN OF BILLION WITH A BORROWED AMOUNT OF A BILLION, Mahama just asked a simple question, tell us what you used the billion you have have so far borrowed for? simple question, if you tell us you used it to clear a so called mess created by Mahama then you are daft solicitor....which government borrows more money to settle a lesser debt... like seriously, you are super incompetent indeed.
Sorry Mahama, clearly you have no message. Please save the little dignity you have by shutting your mouth.
Eh eh eh. SO the 44.4% you have hasnt woken you up. When your govt gives 5bn worth of cocoa roads, builds this small airport for $278m, divert money at cocoa board, Gyeeda etc etc where do you expect a prudent govt to get money to service all these extravagant expenditures. You bought luxury cars for yourself and your wife and this govt reviewed it and used the savings to buy camry's for the police. So all these expenditures were you Nana Addo to pay for it from his pocket? Like seriously?
THEY ARE BORROWING TO CLEAN THE MESS YOU CREATED.IDIOOOOOOTTT.
IT TOOK YOUR ARTY 8 GOOD YEARS TO SHOW US WHAT YOU DID. SHAME SHAME SHAM.
