Member of Parliament for Ledzokuku constituency, Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye has commended Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia over his Town Hall and Result Fair on the infrastructure record of the incumbent government.

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, on Tuesday, August 18, 2020 held a Results Fair where he briefed Ghanaians about the development projects undertaken by the Akufo-Addo administration in its first term in office.

He described their infrastructure record as ''second to none'' comparing to the first term of any government under the Fourth Republic of Ghana.

“The investment in infrastructure by the NPP government over the last three years has been massive. I dare say our investment in infrastructure, our infrastructure record, is second to none for any government in its first term under the Fourth Republic.

“Notwithstanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the completion times of some projects, the data indicates that in the fourth republic, no government has achieved as much in its first term of office in terms of infrastructure projects it initiated its first term as the NPP government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo'', he said.

Touching on Dr. Bawumia's speech, Dr. Okoe Boye thanked the Vice President for his presentation and lauded his eloquence in delineating the good works of the government to Ghanaians.

''We thank God for giving us a meticulous Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia'', he said.

He believed the track record of the government speaks volumes and was optimistic Ghanaians will not disappoint President Nana Akufo-Addo in December polls.

He gave a testimony of the road infrastructure constructed in his constituency by the current administration and wondered how the political opponents, particularly the National Democratic Congress (NDC), would think the things that the President has done in three and half years of his administration are basic or trivial to the citizenry.

''When you come to Ledzokuku, we don't see infrastructure. We live infrastructure. We experience infrastructure and we feel infrastructure.''

"Who told you that infrastructure must be more than 1 million dollars to qualify as infrastructure?" he questioned.

To him, the NDC has not learned their lessons yet but still living in illusion that President Nana Akufo-Addo's works are not appreciated by Ghanaians.

"The Akufo-Addo government has in its pocket lessons that should have been learned by the NDC government when they were in power. What we learned was that infrastructure that appeals to the eyes and looking gigantic at one location cannot change the mood and the feelings of those who are at another location who need basic things," he told host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme.
