Theophilus Dominic Vondee, a member of Parliament for Twifo-Atti Morkwaa, has told the NPP that the NDC government cannot redirect funds allocated for the 24-hour economy initiative to complete Agenda 111 hospital projects.
The NDC MP highlighted that the NDC was elected based on specific policy commitments and should continue implementing them.
According to the NDC MP, redirecting resources from the 24-hour market programme would amount to setting aside commitments made to Ghanaian voters.
Speaking on JoyNews, Theophilus Dominic Vondee stated, “We never said we are going to represent only NDC people, but we gave them a programme, the things we want to do for them when we come to power.
The entire Ghanaians bought into it vote for us, and we cannot abandon what we promised the people and use the money to complete somebody’s failure. That is not fair politically.
Stop all the 24hrs market and come and do the Agenda 111 the NPP failed to do. How will you see us”, he added.
His comments follow those of the Minority members on Parliament’s Local Government and Rural Development Committee, who have told John Mahama to use funds earmarked for the 24-Hour Market initiative to complete the abandoned Agenda 111 hospital projects.
The NPP minority argued that communities were 24-Hour Market initiative is not needed; the fund should be directed towards the completion of the Agenda 111 hospital projects in that area.
Francis Asenso-Boakye noted that several districts already have existing markets that are underutilised, adding that investing additional resources into new markets in those areas would not be the best use of public funds.
Speaking at a capacity-building workshop for Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) in Accra, Francis Asenso-Boakye stated, “As District Assembly officials and political actors, you are supposed to build 24-Hour Markets, but I have realised that in many districts, they do not really need the 24-Hour Markets because there are existing markets already which are underutilised.
“I was asking the Health Minister whether he would make a case that in situations where you don’t need these 24-Hour Markets, can we invest the money in other areas which will certainly include the provision of healthcare infrastructure like the Agenda 111,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ken Agyapong, a former Assin Central MP and NPP flagbearer aspirant, has accused the former NPP-led government under Akufo-Addo of selling the Agenda 111 project to people and taking a 10% share.
The former MP issued a stern warning to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), threatening to expose their actions if they continue to provoke him.
Ken Agyapong, however, in the heat of his submission, disclosed that the NPP failed to complete the Agenda 111 project due to the 10% share they were taking.
Speaking on Net 2 TV, Ken Agyapong alleged, “The NPP says I am bitter. I will not say anything to them. They think it is about what they did during the campaign. They can’t shut me down. If Ghanaians want to know, they should ask them about Agenda 111 if they were able to complete one. They sold the contracts to other people and take 10 per cent,” he alleged.
“NPP should be careful with me, saying I am bitter. If they provoke me, I will spill the beans all over the place,” he cautioned.
He further alleged that the practice of selling public contracts and demanding.
Ken Agyapong alleged that similar incidents have occurred in dealings linked to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“In the NDC too, I was there when somebody brought a contract to my wife about 55 million dollars. She was asked to pay an advance of 7 per cent before they give it to her,” he alleged.
