NPP Communications Director, Nana Boakye has described the inauguration of the Kwame Nkrumah Circle interchange as a total waste of money.
Speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo, Nana Boakye noted that the funfair that accompanied the inauguration exposes the extravagance of the Mahama administration.
According to him, the Kwame Nkrumah interchange is not the first interchange constructed in the nation but the previous governments didn't mobilize the entire nation to witness it in grand style like President John Mahama and his government did on Monday evening.
He recounted that the erstwhile Kufour government erected about 9 interchanges but didn't waste money like the incumbent government.
Nana Boakye also noted that his checks revealed that the inauguration ceremony of the "Circle interchange was transmitted across 11 television networks and all were paid for by the government."
“It’s waste of money. It’s not like we have seen it before…Let’s think about the country a little and not waste money because elections are impending. Meanwhile, President Kufour did far better than what we’re even experiencing,” he said.

Why this hypocrisy? If your gov't were in power, wouldn't you show the same opulence? In 1966, people said all sorts of wicked things about the 1st Head of State. Now he is an icon in Ghana politricks. What a shame?
NPP IS VERY JEALOUS OF THE NDC. THE NPP STATEMENT WITHOUT ANY KIND WORD FOR THIS PROJECT SHOWS THAT THE NOP IS FULL OF EVIL NPP HAS NO GOOD PLANS FOR GHANA. WHO IN HIS RIGHT SENSES WILL CRITICISE THIS PROJECT, EXCEPT A BIG ***barred word***. NDC WILL WIN. NPP HAS NOTHING TO SHOW, APART FROM ***barred word*** TALKS.
You guys said he hasn't done anything, when the green book was published you said they are artist impression, now you have no argument. I wished they had even paid CNN to carry it live so your compatriots nkurasefo in abroad will see it too.
dec.7 is surely for JM
These inaugurations are common practice in Ghana which Kufour even inaugurated toilets,not even water closet, pit holes they call KVIPs,they should give us a break, Kufour did not build even one interchange in the country,the ***barred word*** one at Tetteh Quarshie was started from 37 to the roundabout by the Rawlings' NDC government but when the the Kufour government came to power they changed the plan and pocketed the rest of the money creating one of the worst roads in the world,this guy should list the 9 interchange that Kufour built for us to see. These people lie to their teeth.
Joojo this is mediocrity people want jobs and you are talking about frivolous expenditure. Politicians do not learn when citizens are talking about bread and butter issues you are talking about interchange. Dec 7 will come and NDC will sing the chores fear voters. Mark it on the wall
What at all is wrong with these NPP haters? Yesterday, an NPP sympathizer was heard live on air claiming what at all is this that the "they" making noise about? This toy thing and it is nursery student in China who construct such flyovers?? What is wrong if TV stations are paid to get the tax payers inform and appreciate what is being commissioned? Can the whole of Ghanaians troop to the place for the inauguration? It is not the first time a flyover has been constructed in Ghana but certainly, it the first of its kind onukpabuuluuu!!!
because we want all Ghanaians to see it. Form Accra through Kumasi to Bawku
