Former Member of Parliament for Builsa North, Timothy Awuntirim says all projects completed by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) were initiated by Ex-President John Mahama.

According to the former MP, all of the construction projects claimed by the NPP government began during the NDC era.

Speaking on Joy Prime’s morning show, the former MP indicated that the Nana Akufo-Addo-led government has failed to initiate new projects considering the amount of money borrowed internationally.

He said former President Mahama was able to construct more facilities with the available resources, even though the amount borrowed was less than that of the NPP government.

Aside from the Tamale interchange, which he considers an overpass, the Akufo-Addo administration has only completed projects started by the NDC.

"The Pokuase interchange cost less than $100 million. We sourced the funding, and they came and continued. The Nungua interchange was awarded in 2012. Tell me a single project that you people started and finished. So, if we hadn’t started that, you cannot boast of a project that you started from the foundation," he claimed.

In 2017, the government inaugurated the One District, One Factory (1D1F) project, which seeks to create massive employment opportunities, particularly for youth in rural and semi-urban communities, thereby reducing poverty.

The former MP argued that no factory has been built since the initiation of the project.

"You haven’t built because you said that you were supporting private sector development. You were supporting private sector firms to revamp them, but that doesn’t mean that you’ve built the factory."

Timothy Awuntirim also debunked claims by the Vice President, Dr. Bawumia, that the country experienced five years of ‘Dum So’ under the NDC administration.

According to him, a party governs for four years, not five, and therefore Bawumia's comments are false.

He blamed the NPP government for the current economic crisis, which he said was a result of ‘reckless’ spending of funds.
