The National Tescon Deputy Coordinator of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Madam Rosemond Obeng has commended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government for the Synohydro Master Project Support Agreement.
According to People's Mother as affectionately called, the barter arrangement will have 2 billion US dollars worth of priority infrastructure projects delivered across the country.
"Per the compact, Ghana will benefit from two billion dollars worth of priority projects in return for a commensurate value of refined bauxite from Ghana’s rich mineral deposits",she recounted.
She added that each of the 16 regions will benefit from roads, buildings for judicial service, industrial parks, and landfill sites among other key infrastructure within the next 30 calendar months.
Speaking on Power FM’s Dwabo Ase talk show, she reiterated that through the barter arrangement, our bauxite resources will be developed and manufactured into aluminum products and delivered to Synohydro for the benefit of the 16 regions in Ghana to see massive facelift in infrastructure as well as road networks in the country which would meet international standard.
She however lambasted the NDC government for allegedly giving close to 60% of Ghana's bauxite reserves to the younger brother of the former President John Dramani Mahama (Ibrahim Mahama) during his administration.
She therefore maintained that the infrastructural projects through bartering of bauxite under Akufo-Addo's administration for the benefit of every Ghanaian is better than NDCs Era of offering bauxite to one single individual.
Meanwhile The Director of Research for the opposition National Democratic Congress has described as hypocritical President Nana Akufo-Addo’s excitement over projects expected to be funded with the two billion dollar Sinohydro deal.
Dr Ahadzie made this comment on the Ultimate FM's breakfast Show, recounting moments when the former president Mahama had to deal with critics from the then opposition NPP who claimed that infrastructure did not put food on the tables of Ghanaians.
“It only exposes them and their hypocrisy because they campaigned on the message that we don’t eat infrastructure and our argument has always been that infrastructure actually stimulates development and therefore we need that.
“They must make an admission that we were on the right path in trying to build infrastructure for Ghana to increase their earning capabilities and so why are they going to build that?” he quizzed.

Has ndc been cursed to acknowledge kritical thinkers? eeeeiiii, eeeeeiii! a Phd holder in the ndc is also suffering from their flagbearer's pronouncement of Ghanaians having short memory, where did Nana Addo say infrastructure dint put food on the table? it was john mahama who told President Kuffuor his infrastructure won't put food on the table of Ghanaians so if even NPP said it they borrowed from John mahama! Nana Addo's infrastructure will put food on the table and I'm asking that man Ahadzie if his wife brings home from the market the same amount of platain and yams of mahama's time or food is in abundance due to planting for food and jobs so they are eating good and having left overs. If during his government's time he bought a tuber of yam for 2 cedis today he is buying the same tuber for a cedi so he can keep 1 cedi for tomorrow ! at least his child is having Free SHS so he can keep that money! they should sh*ut up and give us a break! Since the introduction of the Free SHS I haven't heard of any ndc member coming out to decline the free and volunteering to pay fees but they are the most making noise! I thought ndc members will refuse the free SHS and ask to pay fees for their children that could even help the government to rescind and stick to only the poor but none has come out, yabi,yabi kwa hweee ni ketere yam and they have no shame.
