Ghana is leading the United States of America as far as the development of social-economic infrastructure is concerned, President John Mahama has said.
Mr Mahama, who is campaigning in the Upper West Region ahead of the 7 December polls said the two leading candidates in the just-ended American presidential election – Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump – promised to sink a lot of investment into infrastructural development during their campaigns.
“The American elections have just ended. Both candidates, a central plank of their economic policy is to invest massively in social and economic infrastructure. And if we have started that in Ghana already, it means we are one step ahead of the United States,” Mr Mahama told party supporters.
He said the two candidates made those promises “because, investing in social and economic infrastructure creates jobs and puts food on the table for Ghanaians.”
“When you are building roads, the people who work on the roads are Ghanaians and they are being paid and they are feeding their families.
“And the good thing is today as I speak to you, 95 percent of road contractors working in Ghana on our roads are Ghanaians. It means that the money that we are paying to them is ending up in this economy its circulating within the economy.”
Mr Mahama recently inaugurated a 74-million euro flyover at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle and a boxing complex at Bukom in Jamestown, both in the Greater Accra Region.

Massa dont bring yourself wai. It looks like you dont have any message at all. Let me ask you Mr President can you please explain to us why your vision, ambition and promises will be possible but plans and visions from others will not possible. And stop that infrastructure talk because you just indulging in mediocrity as you once told us when others were touting infrastructural development that they had done.
I think this guy mahama is getting crazy. What at all has he done that he so scared of opposition and talking trash? Papa Kuffuor wasn't scared his party was going to opposition because he knew he did his best for the country ,but this guy thinks transforming the lives of his family,friends and cronies means Ghana is fine and everything is ok so he doesn't care about the sufferings of the people. John mahama is mad,the power he is losing has made him lose his mind,there is no sense in what he says. Ghanafuo,send this disgusting ndc trouble away. Atta Mills would have done the country good without this guy. NANA B3BA,THE MAN WE CAN BELIEVE IN.
Can this assertion be true. Why not compare that unsafe fly over to Togo our neighbors. Folks go to Kenya and Ethiopia. They have better infrastructure than Ghana. Even war-torn Iraq and Damascus even have better infrastructure. This guy is really throwing salt and pepper into the eyes of unsuspecting Ghanaians. Does he even know what massive infrastructure means? When a country can only borrow money to build its roads, that is not success. Generate your own income to build anytime you want. That is success. By comparing Ghana to the US, this guys exposes himself as a true Northerner who does not know what he is talking about. Folks in West Africa, Nigeria has the best infrastructure. PEACE.
this speech shows that mahama is a bonafide eddddiot. ONly a certified fuuuuuuuul will make such an utterance so publicly. He does not have the intelligence to lead ghana to prosperity.
J.M. TOASO!
