Mr. Kwaku Asomah-Cheremeh accuses the Mills’-led NDC administration of a deliberate and a consistent attempt to claim ownership of projects initiated and completed under the NPP administration.
“Projects like the School of forestry, Fiapre electrification project, which they are claiming as their own was started by former President Kufuor. Residents in Fiapre have already been connected to the national grid. For him to say that he completed the project is a lie. He should say that he was the one who commissioned it and not the one who started it,” the NPP B/A Regional Chairman said.
Speaking in an interview on Peace FM’s morning show ‘Kokrokoo’ with host Kwame Nkrumah, Mr. Asomah-Cheremeh advised President Mills to concentrate on the projects that have not yet been completed in Brong Ahafo instead of commissioning already completed ones; “It is not true he completed those projects. It is because of votes and cheap propaganda…that is why he is saying all these things.”
Responding to reports that chiefs in the area attested to the fact that the projects were completed by Presidents Mills, he said “those chiefs are simply engaging in political sycophancy”. He bemoaned the participation of chiefs in active party politics following their blatant rooting for President Mills despite the constitution frowning on it.
The NPP B/A Regional Chairman also heavily censured President Mills for being selective during his tour of the region, accusing him of doing a tour of only 7 out of the 22 constituencies in the region. To him, President Mills should not be labeled the ‘Asomdwehene’ because the only ‘Asomdwehene’ is Jesus Christ.
“If President Mills was an ‘Asomdwehene’ he would have called both the Andanis and Abudus to the Castle…However, he called just one group…,” he said.
