THE ASHANTI Regional branch of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has charged the ruling government to, as a matter of urgency, work to complete all Agenda 111 hospital projects in the region to boost healthcare delivery.
The party expressed gross concern over the undue delay in the completion of Agenda 111 projects in the region, noting that residents were struggling to access healthcare while the Agenda 111 projects have been stalled.
According to the largest opposition party, the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration clearly doesn’t seem to have the passion to complete the health facilities for the people in the region to benefit from them.
The party has therefore charged the NDC, led by President John Dramani Mahama, to with immediate effect, show commitment by completing the health projects to help lessen the burden of the people.
Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, popularly known as COKA, who is the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, made the strong call to the government during a meeting with leaders of political parties in the Ashanti Region, few days ago.
He openly expressed disappointment over how the completion of Agenda 111 projects have been delayed in the Ashanti Region, even as the people continued to struggle to access quality healthcare in the region.
According to him, the development of the region, especially the completion of ongoing government projects, have been stalled since the NDC assumed the mantle of leadership from the NPP administration two years ago.
“Several important infrastructural projects in the region, including the Agenda 111 projects have been stalled since the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration took over power,” COKA pointed out.
The Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman, who has the interest and development of the region at heart, therefore called on minority political parties across the region to unite and champion the development of the Ashanti Region.
“I believe we can work together to push for the interest of the Ashanti Region and lobby for more developmental projects so that we can all share in the benefits,” he said, adding that political insults should also be avoided in the region.
