“You borrowed and consumed but attempts to cover up with Agenda 111”- Mahama jabs Akufo-Addo
Ex-President John Mahama has taken a swipe at President Akufo-Addo, accusing him of consuming huge money he borrowed, increasing the public debt stock to GHC332.4 but has no projects to show for it.
Ghana’s public debt stock currently stands at GHC 332.4 per latest figures released by the Bank of Ghana with NDC caucus of parliament accusing Akufo-Addo government of accounting for 60%.
According to President Mahama, the Akufo-Addo -Bawumia-led Administration is being forced to preach invisible “Agenda 111” because they are compelled by the situation to justify the reason for shooting up Ghana’s public debt stock to GHC332.4.
Speaking during his “Thank you” tour of the Upper East Region today Tuesday 18 August 2021, the former Ghanaian Leader Mahama said “They’ve borrowed huge money but has no projects to show for it. So… they are under pressure to justify it and are now talking about Agenda 111”.
Apart from that, Ex-president Mahama has urged President Akufo-Addo to continue existing E-block projects he started but have been abandoned by the current government.
The NDC 2020 flag- bearer John Mahama also wants President Akufo-Addo to immediately pay much attention to issues raised by #FixTheCountry Movement during their recent protest.
Meanwhile, President Akufo-Addo is insisting that “Agenda 111” will make Ghana the center of excellence for medical care.
Speaking during the sod-cutting expected to kick-off establishment 111 district hospitals, President Akufo-Addo said the “projects will be completed in 18 months”.
