The South Dayi MP, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has demanded that his colleague, Ursula Owusu Ekuful, takes down her name, written on one of the blocks at the Accra Digital Centre.
According to Mr Dafeamekpor, the MP for Ablekuma West, who ridiculed the NDC administration led by former President John Mahama, cannot have any of the blocks named after her.
He stated that during the construction of the edifice five years ago, Mrs Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, who is the Communications Minister, did not add even a gallon of paint to facilitate its completion.
Therefore, in a tweet, the South Dayi MP said, “I demand that she pulls her name down.”
In February 2015, Urusula Owusu-Ekuful called on Mr John Mahama to resign as President as indications known to her proved he wasn’t fit for the job.
"The Chief Executive of Ghana incorporated John Dramani Mahama, I am calling on you to do the honourable thing and resign and take responsibility as a man, for the mess that your so-called better Ghana [Agenda] has reduced this country to," she said on JoyNews.
According to her, the NDC’s presence was hindering a more competent party from addressing the country’s challenges.
“If they can't fix our problems they should do the honourable thing and get out so that those who can fix the problems will come and fix it."
Also speaking on the issue, Musician-turned-politician Kwame A-Plus says the Ablekuma West MP has done what is dishonorable by having her name on the project of a President she heavily criticised.
"If I were Ursula Owusu, I'll be ashamed to name something an 'incompetent president' built after me."
Former President John Mahama saw to the construction of the $8.3million Accra Digital Centre.
The facility was commissioned by Mr Mahama in November 2016. The edifice was built with aid from WB & Rockefeller Foundation.
It was to provide some 10,000 jobs at full capacity for the country’s youth. The centre among other things facilitates the consolidation and aggregation of all government’s key ICT infrastructure in secure, highly available and resilient facilities.
