Infrastructural developments don’t save governments during elections.
Kufuor found oil and built overpasses including cutting through rocks at Aburi Mountains to create dual carriages and many many development projects; that did not translate to votes in 2008.
Nkrumah regretted infrastructural developments and said if he knew Ghanaians needed milk he would have constructed pipes for milk to flow through them and allowed essential commodities everywhere.
Ghanaians are suffering and undergoing hardships, high unemployment figures including graduates, high cost of living, high rate of taxes, dumsor, business collapsing or relocating to La Cote d’Ivoire, high bank lending interest rates, serious borrowing by Gov’t and payment of high interest rates, inflation not stable, corruption, judgment debts still outstanding, high electricity taxes, high cost of food prices etc.
To me, rushing to inaugurate or Commission uncompleted projects will not save the NDC. Ghanaians want to feel free to enjoy life not become tourists at project sites that don’t put food on their tables or give them jobs or from which all Ghanaians do not derive benefits.
