The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, says he is yet to see the much-talked about international airport that President Mahama and the NDC government claim to have constructed in Kumasi.
The NPP regional boss says Ghanaians should ask President Mahama where exactly the airport which he has touted as international is situated because as far as he is concerned, he does not see anything international about it.
"Paul you call this an international airport; you have travelled far and wide do you see this Kumasi Airport as international?" the NPP Chairman queried.
Speaking on the flagship Good Evening Show hosted by Paul Adom Otchere on Tuesday, Chairman Wontumi asked Ghanaians to demand accountability from President Mahama and his NDC government about the contractual sum of the project.
The NPP Chairman, who was reacting to a statement by the host on claims by President Mahama that his government has done enough in the region including the construction of an international airport, said the President had done virtually nothing in the region except bringing untold hardships to Ghanaians, particularly people in the region.
According to him, there are clear evidence to the contrarily as far as the contractual sum was concerned, stressing that the figure is far far below the $29m amount quoted by government.
"Paul we brought engineers to come and value the project and they said clearly that this project shouldn't cost more than $4m. If the President says he has built an international airport, then its not in Kumasi here," He said.
The NPP regional chairman further noted "All the NDC and President Mahama know is to squander our money; corruption is all that they know," He said.

Shame on all those calling him illiterate he actually did better than I expected all his points were factual whats understood doesn't need an explanation kudos chairman.
even kotoka Airport is not an international. NDCfo nkurasefo
Why didn't Kuffour build an international airport at Kumasi? Kuffour was ***barred word*** and did NOTHING for his native region.
Ha ha This world my brother !! NPP always boasted of intellectuals and men of knowhow. No wonder their flag-bearer himself is having problems with his academic credentials. He is not even able to express and explain himself analytically on national issues. Sorry he couldn't attend the IEA debate; all due to one reason- he will mess himself big time. Thankfully he is not alone. He's got commradeships from Sheikh IC Quaye, Wontumi, Bugri Naabu and many likes. And by the way, was the Metro TV show done in English or Akan ? Did he not pride himself that he was a product of Prempeh College; arguably one of the best Secondary schools in the country? Only time will tell.
well done chairman
@ YAW DO YOU LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD? WOULD YOU PREFER QUEEN ELIZABETH ENGLISH TO YOUR OWN SURVIVAL? THINK MY FRIEND.YOU ARE PROUD OF BOASTING ABOUT A LANGAUGE WHICH YOU ARE ALIEN TO RATHER THAN YOUR OWN HENCE OUR RETROGRESSION IN EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE IN MODERN DAY GHANA.IF CHAIRMAN WONTUMI COULDN'T EXPRESS HIMSELF,AT LEAST YOU GOT THE MESSAGE THAT WE'VE BEEN SWINDLED WHICH DO YOU PREFER TO LIVE UNDER A LYING GOVERNMENT OR TO BE TOLD THE TRUTH? EVEN ACCRA AIRPORT DOESNT WARRANT INTERNATIONAL STATUS AND IF MAHAMA SAYS HE IS BUILT AN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN KUMASI THEN EARS MUST BE RAISED.THINK MY FRIEND.TIME ALONE WILL TELL.
Yaw, regardless of the way (Prempeh College or not)Chrm. Wontumi expressed himself ver well-good English or not. And all that he said was factual. The so called 'International' Airport in Kumasi that pres. Mahama and NDC claimed to have constructed was nothing but an avenue to create loot and share-their modus operandi to empty the national coffers. All that Hon. Ackon could do was to blast 'Y3n Ntie Obia' song when it was being opened. Ghanaians must wise up-this NDC Julorfo (Fiafitor) are scared to death that Nana Addo will go the way of pres. Buhari-prosecute recover and jail all who have S T O L E N money from the national coffers. Ghanaians shouldn't be scared of asking people to account for their stewardship. Ask Ms. Ativor. Asem beba dabi. NDC=NANA DEY COME. They fear him like kakae.
I LISTENED TO THIS MAN WHO THEY CLAIM WENT TO PREMPEH COLLEGE. MY GOD, HE CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS HIMSELF IN ENGLISH!! NO WONDER A FEW GHANAIAN SCHOOLS WIN HONOURS IN WAEC. INDEED I NOW AM VERY CLEAR ABOUT SOME OF MY MATES WHO WENT TO PREMPEH COLLEGE.
