The District Road Improvement Program (DRIP) Suffocating in the Hands of the Minority

In the vibrant heart of Ghana's political landscape, the District Road Improvement Program (DRIP) finds itself gasping for breath, ensnared by the minority's grip. The Akufo-Addo government, with great fanfare, unveiled a fleet of state-of-the-art road improvement equipment, heralding a new era of infrastructure development. Yet, before the engines could roar to life, a tempest brewed within the hallowed halls of Parliament, especially on the part of the minority caucus .

The Minority Members of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Local Government and Rural Development swiftly organized a press conference, accusing the government of leveraging DRIP for political gain. In their view, the accolades for procuring these magnificent machines should be attributed to the MPs, a notion lies in irony. These same voices, often vocal about the country's public debt , now sought to divert the spotlight.

This paradoxical stance on the part of the minority highlights a deeper issue: a refusal to acknowledge the government's efforts while incessantly critiquing its perceived missteps. Such actions border on political witchcraft, as the good deeds of the Akufo-Addo government are overshadowed by a relentless drive for partisan recognition.

Despite the cacophony from the corridors of the minority, the government remains resolute. The legacy of DRIP, will forever bear the stamp of the Akufo-Addo government any day, anytime, an enduring testament to progress amidst political turmoil.
