John Mahama has voiced his discontent with the Akufo-Addo administration’s decision to halt the Abetifi Hospital project.
Mahama has labeled the situation as a misuse of funds and a barrier to healthcare access for the people.
Mahama articulated this concern during his participation in the NDC’s Easter 24-hour economy walk in Kwahu on Easter Sunday, where he engaged with party supporters.
He reaffirmed the NDC’s dedication to fostering progress in every region and locality without bias or favoritism.
“We have always ensured that the people of Kwahu continue to benefit from various projects, including education, roads, and healthcare.
“I expressed my deep concern about the Abetifi hospital project, which we started and was almost completed but remains abandoned nearly eight years after the NPP came into government. This is a waste of government funds and denies the people access to quality healthcare,” he said in a Facebook post.
Additionally, the former President promised to prioritize addressing the issue of youth unemployment in the nation.
“I also reiterated my promise to create a ministry dedicated to the youth, separated from Sports, and focused on creating an environment that will guarantee well-paying and decent jobs and youth development.
“The NDC stands for progress, equality, and inclusion, and together, we can make a real difference in the lives of our fellow Ghanaians. Let’s continue to walk together, support each other, and build a brighter, more prosperous Ghana for all.
“Thank you for your commitment and passion. I enjoyed the walk. Happy Easter to you all,” Mahama added.
