John Mahama has chided the Akufo Addo government for what he says is the wasting of taxpayers’ money on a failed one-village one-dam project.
The NPP ahead of the 2016 general elections promised to construct dams in villages across the northern part of the country to provide enough water for farmers to ensure all year farming, as well as for domestic purposes.
About 560 dams are expected to be constructed by the end of 2020. However, many have raised issues with the type of dams being constructed describing them as rather dugouts.
Addressing the Manwe Naa and his people in the Upper West Region as part of his campaign tour, Mr. Mahama stated that even the dugouts that have been constructed instead of dams as promised by the government have been poorly done and serve no purpose.
