In response to a circulating video on social media suggesting he struggled to list developmental projects undertaken by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti region, the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei-Mensah, has denied the accusations, dismissing them as mere propaganda.

Minister Osei-Mensah clarified the context, explaining that he was fully capable of listing numerous developmental initiatives but was misunderstood during the conversation.

He emphasized that he had conveyed his ability to easily mention around fifty such projects if necessary and even invited the host to provide specific details for him to enumerate.

"I went to a program at Oyerepa FM, and the host asked me questions to mention some of the projects, and after mentioning about 5.

“I wanted to mention the judicial accommodations so I realized I had that footage on my phone inside my pocket …so he told me that I have been accusing the NDC about some of these development projects so I should provide evidence myself and I told him that I could mention 50.

“He should produce the full tape.

“I could provide 50. and I told him the judicial accommodations are closer to my office. That is just mere propaganda, they should bring the full tape.

“I have always been mentioning about 30 projects every time I am called,” he said in an interview on Okay FM on March 27, 2024.

Minister Osei Mensah reiterated his willingness to present a comprehensive list of developmental projects if given the opportunity, stressing that he consistently highlights approximately thirty projects whenever called upon.
