President Akufo-Addo is on a 4-day trip around the country right now.
Yesterday, he went to the palace of the Asantehene and talked about what the NPP has done in the last six years.
He said that the Ashanti Region has changed a lot since the NPP came to power and that the region should be thankful. He says he’s doing everything he can to and galamsey before he leaves office.
The president then gave some projects the green light.
Today, President Akufo-Addo gave an interview to OTEC FM in Kumasi, which was the next stop on his tour. One of the most important questions was how the NPP has done with roads, especially in the Ashanti Region.

The host says that everything is not fine and that something needs to be done. President Akufo-Addo said that before he took office, John Mahama had said more than once that his government had built more roads than any other.
Akufo-Addo said it was interesting that he didn’t see this when he took office.
He said that he had traveled around the country when he took office, so he knew that not everything the former president said was true.
The host then asked the President if he was saying that Mahama lied when he said that more roads were built during his time in office than ever before.

The President said in a subtle way that John Mahama is a statesman and a big person, so he can’t say that he lied.
However, he could say that John wasn’t telling the truth when he said that the NDC had built more roads than any other party.
Some Ghanaians, especially those in the Ashanti Region, have said that President Akufo-Addo is not getting good roads. Some people do say that the NPP takes the area for granted.
Some of Osei Kyei Mensa Bonsu’s constituents once threw rocks at him because the roads in his area were bad.
Akufo-Addo says, however, that there is no doubt that his government has changed Ghana’s roads, which has never happened before in the country.
