President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has fulfilled his ‘one million dollars for each constituency’ promise he made during the 2016 electioneering campaign.
The money, made available to the constituencies, is currently being used to finance developmental projects for the benefit of the people.
This news was announced to the media by the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, when he was addressing journalists in Kumasi on Tuesday about some of government’s projects and achievements.
He indicated, “The ‘one million dollar for each constituency’ campaign promise by President Akufo-Addo is being implemented across the country now so that the people can benefit from the huge cash.
“As I speak with you, contracts for the construction of boreholes and toilet facilities have been awarded across the constituencies and they are being financed through the ‘one million dollar for each constituency.’”
Mr. Osei Mensah therefore, urged those who have been lambasting the government unnecessarily for not implementing that campaign promise to refrain from doing so because the government had done it already.
“Our political opponents thought the one million dollars would be taken to the constituencies in cash so that some few people can distribute it among themselves, whilst majority of the people suffer.
“President Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP administration want the huge cash to become beneficial to every member of the constituency, irrespective of their political, social and religious or any background.
“In line with this, the government has adopted a positive strategy to use the cash to embark on developmental projects across all the constituencies so that the entire residents can benefit from the projects,” he maintained.
Mr Simon Osei Mensah also said the NPP government is on track, regarding fulfilling campaign promises, adding, “The Free SHS has been delivered, dumsor has been stopped, the NHIS has been revamped, among others.”

So is it the central govt which is responsible for the disbursement or the assemblies?

What a disappointing government shameful people
It's interesting the way NPP leaders talk. They say they have redeemed all promises including ending dumsor which was brought to an end by mahama karpower badge they kicked against. Today they claim they have ended dumsor. What did they do? The lies are way too much.
Look at this face, he is a clear quintessential liar. When did nana addo redeemed this promise. Barwumia has been inaugurating projects that they did not start with big fun fair, even when contractors had not been paid nana addo goes round telling us he has paid them. If indeed one million has been given to each constituency nana addo and his lying vice president would have been the first to be boasting about it. In fact they would have organize a turn at to announce it. When I carefully examine your face and most especially your mouth I don't see anyone but Satan himself the father of lies. You think you lied your way to power so you would continue and Ghanaians are ediots to buy into all your lies.
A major campaign promise and it has "been done" on the quite? Hmmmm Reality check!!! LOL
