Opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) will Thursday, April 7 take its turn on the JOYNEWS’ political analysis programme, Caucus to address its track record in the Volta region from 6pm to 7pm.
Tonight's show will show the Deputy Communication Director of the NPP, Perry Okduzeto hosting former Education Minister, Elizabeth Ohene and the Volta regional NPP Chairman, Peter Amewu.
Their discussion will try to answer the question, 'Who did more to develop the Volta region? Is it the NPP or the NDC?' which has dominated radio discussions lately.
President Mahama stoked the debate when he said during his “Accounting to the people” tour that the NPP did nothing in the Volta region.
Members of the governing NDC also ran with the President’s comment arguing the NPP only concentrated on its “world bank” regions neglecting the people of Volta region.
In a sharp response, leadership of the Volta regional NPP stated in a news conference addressed by the regional Chairman that the region is what it is because of the efforts of the NPP government.
On April 6, Presidential staffer, Prince Agyenim Boateng hosted Deputy Communication Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu on the Majority Caucus where the achievements of President Mahama were discussed.
The deputy Minister used the opportunity to dismiss suggestions that government's interventions in the education sector are mere token adding apart from former President Nkrumah, President has done more in infrastructural projects in the sector.
“There were 4,321 schools under trees for basic schools across the country, which was not the most appropriate condition to educate Ghanaian children. One thousand, six hundred and fourteen out of 2,578 of such projects have been completed and delivered. The remaining will be delivered in due course,” Mr. Ofosu said.
The NPP will today discuss its records in as far as development projects in the Volta region is concerned. Former Education Minister, Elizabeth Ohene and NPP Volta regional Chairman, Peter Amewu will lead the discussion moderated by Perry Okudzeto starting at 6pm to 7pm.
