The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman of Bono Region, Kwame Baffoe popularly known as Abronye DC has said although the John Mahama-led administration spent over $450 million on non-existent cocoa roads in the country, the Akufo-Addo-led government is bent on fixing them.
He claimed that former state officials under President John Mahama, who introduced the cocoa roads project, used it (project) to steal from the public purse.
Chairman Abronye was speaking at a commissioning of a 6-unit classroom block at Akwasua in the Sunyani West Municipality which was engineered by the Member of Parliament for the area, Hon. Ignatius Baffour Awuah.
Reacting on the construction of rural roads, he said government upon detecting fraudulent contracts awarded under strange circumstances had to suspend road construction under cocoa projects in order to procure value for money especially money coming from the sweat of modest cocoa farmers.
He said COCOBOD had to announce the suspension of the cocoa road projects after an interim audit had revealed a lot of discrepancies in the actual amounts of money spent on the entire projects but recently roads constructions in the country have seen a tremendous increase.
According to him, President Akufo-Addo stands for truth, accountability, transparency and above all value for money and therefore Ghanaians should renew the trust imposed in him coming 2020 elections.
The controversial Chairman emphasized that government was working assiduously to fix the bad roads in the country but may need an ample time hence a major reason he deserves another term in office.
According to him, President Akufo-Addo has awarded most of the deplorable roads for construction which the results will soon manifest itself not in the "green book" but will be a living testimony for all to see.

ABRONYE WU YE '***barred word***'. LEARN THE MODALITIES THE NDC PUT DOWN FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF ROADS IN GHANA. THE NPP CAME WITHOUT NO CLUE. DO NOT SPEAK LIKE THAT AGAIN BECAUSE IT PROVES YOUR INNOCENCE.
NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE YOU ANY LONGER FOR KEEPING TO MAKE SUCH STATEMENTS WITHOUT ANY ARREST. NDC CONSISTS OF HUMAN FACES WHO CAN BE IDENTIFIED AND BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CRIMES. WE HAVE HEARD SO MANY CLAIMS OF CORRUPTION AGAINST NDC FROM TAKING OF GOVERNMENT CARS, DOUBLE SALARIES, GHOST COCOA ROADS AND MANY OTHERS. GHANAIANS CAN NO LONGER BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED. THIS IS ANOTHER ELECTION YEAR AND WE HATE TO BELIEVE THAT ALL POLITICIANS ARE THE SAME. YOU FAILURE TO ARREST PERPETRATORS OF DOUBLE SALARIES, CORRUPT GOVERNMENT CAR SALES TO PARTY MEMBERS, GHOST COCOA ROADS AND ALL OTHER CORRUPT CLAIMS MAKE GHANAIANS SICK. YOUR INACTION IS NOT GOOD FOR GHANA. IT GIVES THE IMPRESSION THAT YOU ARE LYING OR YOU ARE ALL THE SAME SO YOUR INABILITY TO PROSECUTE THEM. YOU BETTER BE SERIOUS FOR IF NDC EVER COME TO POWER YOU WILL EVEN BE PROSECUTED AND PAY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE STOLEN FROM GHANA.
And yet, they are walking free under your protruding nose? Spare us the ***barred word*** with your persistent childish allegations!
