An aspiring Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Evans Amoo, has called out President Akufo-Addo for being unable to churn out several developmental projects.

According to Mr Amoo, rather than commissioning projects, the President is engaged in cutting sod for the construction of some projects he seeks to over see while in office.

Speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo show on October 27, the NDC member questioned why the President was on a tour in the Eastern Region.

"What at all is he commissioning at the Eastern Region. When did he cut sod. He should be commissioning and  not cutting sod in an election period," he said in the local parlance.

During his tour of the Eastern Region, President Akufo-Addo inspected the construction of the Ofoase-Ayirebi Agenda 111 Hospital Project.

He also commissioning of a 1D1F Beverage Factory, a 24-Unit Classroom Block at St. Martins SHS, as well as an accommodation complex inside the Nsawam Camp Prison all in the Nsawam-Adoagyiri constituency.

Again, he commissioned the Model STEM Senior High School and the Abomosu bridge in Atiwa West.

According to Mr Amoo, "he (Akufo-Addo has) made things so difficult in this country. There is extreme poverty."

He bemoaned the incessant rise in prices of fuel products. A litre of petrol is being sold at about GHS14 while a litre of diesel goes for over GHS18.
