Housing Minister Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah has defended the recent unveiling of infrastructure projects, stating that it reflects the government's strong track record, rather than an attempt to sway voters ahead of the 2024 general elections.

During an appearance on Channel One TV on Thursday, November 21, Oppong-Nkrumah, who also serves as Vice Chairman of the NPP Manifesto Committee, highlighted that these developments underscore the government's long-term commitment to advancing infrastructure across the country.

He clarified that the inauguration of these projects is part of a broader strategy aimed at promoting sustainable development, not a last-minute bid for electoral support.

The Minister pointed out that the government's focus has always been on delivering quality infrastructure to enhance the lives of citizens.

Many of these projects, he added, have been in the planning and construction stages for years and are now being completed as part of the government's continued development agenda.

Oppong Nkrumah assured the public that the timing of these projects' completion was purely coincidental and not tied to the electoral calendar.

He reaffirmed that the NPP administration’s commitment to infrastructure development will remain a key priority well beyond the election period, reflecting the government's vision for consistent progress and growth across Ghana.

“The commissions are part of a bigger track record. If your track record on infrastructure speaks well for you, then the commissioning will just help with the icing on the cake.

"If your track record on infrastructure does not speak well for you, then it will be an exercise in futility. So for us, we believe that, for example, today about 80 new schools were commissioned."

“It is not the case that these are the only schools we have built since 2017. In my constituency, you will see school blocks, dormitories, etc. So the people have seen what has been done over the years and now they are seeing what is going on in the final stretch."

“So, it is not about what you do in the last two or three weeks, it is about what you have done over the period for the public to access and make a determination,” he stated.
