Ghana is leading the United States of America as far as the development of social-economic infrastructure is concerned, President John Mahama has said.
Mr Mahama, who is campaigning in the Upper West Region ahead of the 7 December polls said the two leading candidates in the just-ended American presidential election – Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump – promised to sink a lot of investment into infrastructural development during their campaigns.
“The American elections have just ended. Both candidates, a central plank of their economic policy is to invest massively in social and economic infrastructure. And if we have started that in Ghana already, it means we are one step ahead of the United States,” Mr Mahama told party supporters.
He said the two candidates made those promises “because, investing in social and economic infrastructure creates jobs and puts food on the table for Ghanaians.”
“When you are building roads, the people who work on the roads are Ghanaians and they are being paid and they are feeding their families.
“And the good thing is today as I speak to you, 95 percent of road contractors working in Ghana on our roads are Ghanaians. It means that the money that we are paying to them is ending up in this economy its circulating within the economy.”
Mr Mahama recently inaugurated a 74-million euro flyover at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle and a boxing complex at Bukom in Jamestown, both in the Greater Accra Region.

so there is no single person around this man that has small brain to advise him on his public appearance. he looks so dumb whenever he talks. truth be told but this man is too dumb to be a leader of a group of two ple let alone over 25 million ple. pls my ple let us change this man be4 he destroys this nation completely. i cant believe this is the best ndc has. well i know most of them are feeling bad right now but have to pretend. this man's public utterances are just too bad and shd not come from some who calls himself a president. i cant think far.
Jonathan Fiki or what you call yourself. You 're also defending the absurd comments made by JM. I am in the united states and live all my life in Ghana. It is the third largest country in the world and have the third largest population in the word. In terms of human index and GDP is far ahead of Ghana. Ghana in 2015 imported goods worth USD14Billion Dollars and with a total GDP of USD 10billion and united states exported USD 1.3 trillion with GDP of USD17 trillion dollars.Nigeria exported USD 50 billion. United states is not in deficit when it comes to roads but housing yes because of inflow of foreigners and other indices.You can't even compare Ghana to California which is even compared to countries to the world like some European countries with the exception of Germany and France. You can't even compare the most deplorable state in America to Ghana.In terms of Military might,inter state highays running through all the states so pls don't go there. It is the Richest and most developed country in the world so pls don't join JM and insult Ghanaian because probably you have never travelled to US before so you 're comparing it to Airport Residential. You would be marveled. Don't exposed your ignorance by listening to the chorus of JM because he has knows he is lying and so stop it.
AMERICA'S DEMOCRACY IS OVER 200 YEARS OLD. WITHIN THE PERIOD THEY HAVE SEEN DEPRESSION,, RECESSIONS, MELTDOWNS AND EVEN CIVIL WAR,. REMEMBER ,, ALAMO??? YET THEY DEMONSTRATED A CHARACTER WHICH HAS MADE THEM THE ENVY OF MODERN DEMOCRACY. BUT IN ALL THESE,, THERE SEEM TO BE INFRASTRUCTURAL DEFICITS. OWING TO THE RAPID GROWTH OF ITS CITIZENS AND THE MIGRATION OF OTHERS INTO THE STATES. THIS IS WHAT PROMPTED HILARY TO RESTORE THE BALANCE IF ELECTED. UNFORTUNATELY,,, IT DID NOT HAPPEN. BUT MRS. CLINTON'S CALL WAS ON POINT. JUXTAPOSE IT TO OUR YOUNG DEMOCRACY,, BARELY 24 YEARS WITH A POPULATION OF 27 MILLION,, AND A POSSIBLE GROWTH OF 6.7 RATE PER ANNUM. AND WITH AN ANNUAL GDP OF 8%,, AS PREDICTED BY THE WATCHERS. IT IS ONLY FAIR,, TO SAY THAT THERE IS THE NEED TO MAKE UP FOR THE DEFICIT. AND IN ORDER TO QUASH THE USUAL RHETORIC OF TALK IS CHEAP,,,THE PRESIDENT'S COMMENT IS EVIDENT BASE... BUT PER SOME COMMENTS I AM READING,,, IT APPEARS THEY DIDN'T READ THE PIECE AT ALL BEFORE THEY COMMENTED. AND IT APPEARS IT IS ONLY COMING FROM PHOOLS WHO HARDLY SEE THE FOUR WALLS OF A SECONDARY SCHOOL. GRANTED THAT THE PRESIDENT MEANT GHANA'S INFRASTRUCTURE IS AHEAD OF THE ENTIRE U.S.A. WOULD THAT NOT BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT? YET YOU HAVE ILLITERATES TAKEN THE WHOLE ISSUE OUT OF CONTEXT. NPP MU NA FIKI.
this man needs proper medical treatment. i have always said that he has been on the wrong medication. may be his sickness will be cured once he has been sent packing from that flagstaff house. the ghost and forces haunting him at that presidency is too much for him to bare. well i know the good ple of Ghana are tired of ur incompetence and will vote u out to go and take care of ur problems.
