President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his commitment to Ghanaians.
John Mahama, during his Eastern Region Thank You Tour, reassured Ghanaians that he would not disappoint them.
According to John Mahama, with the grace of God, he will fulfil all the NDC promises made to the people of the Eastern Region and the people of Ghana as a whole.
Speaking to a large crowd at the Koforidua Jackson Park on Sunday, July 20, John Mahama stated, “Thanks for the warm reception,” he said to a cheering audience. “Due to the confidence reposed in me by electing me once again as President, I promise not to disappoint you.
With the grace of God, we will fulfil all our promises to the Eastern Region and Ghanaians as a whole.”
President John Dramani Mahama, during his “Thank You Tour”, added that contractors who received double payments for road construction during the previous administration will be punished.
John Mahama revealed that the Auditor-General has completed an audit of the payments, and contractors will return to the site except those found to have received double payments, who will be made to face the law.
John Mahama added, “We are going to use some of the money for the Big Push. The Big Push, we are going to use it to construct roads. I know a lot of Chiefs during our campaign, and one of the things they kept crying about was the bad roads.
When we came to the ongoing roads, we asked the contractors to wait for some time for us to audit because some of the road projects had the road fund paying for it, and that same certificate will be sent to the finance department, and the finance department will also pay double”.
John Mahama revealed, “So we told the Auditor General to audit all the road projects, and he has done his job and has submitted his report.
We are going to allow all the contractors to go back to sites, except those contractors who received double payments, they are going to be dealt with”, he added.
