Former President John Dramani Mahama has accused the Akufo-Addo-led government of dabbling in pettiness.
According to him, Akufo-Addo keeps plagiarising the projects he commissioned during his tenure.
“I thought they are only good in plagiarizing speeches. Didn’t know they are good in plagiarizing projects too” he said while speaking to thousands of supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at the tenth and last unity walk of the party in Aflao, Volta Region.
According to him, “the projects they (NPP) described as photoshop, they are now going round commissioning them today. But you know the most shocking, they are also cutting sod again for projects that we have cut sod for already. Kumasi airport phase 2, we got the loan $65 million, we sent it to parliament, parliament approved it. On December 6, 2016 I was asked to go cut sod for the project, when I went to the site, the contractor had started working, he had taken control of the site, he had cleared the place and started working. And I broke the ground for the commencement of work.
“On 7th January 2017 they asked him to stop work and they kept him waiting for 18 months and they come back and cut the same sod, same contractor, same money, same site and you ask the contractor to build and finish in two years. That project would have been completed by next year, what a waste of national resources,” Mahama bemoaned.
He continued: “Let me give you examples, and that is the pettiness of the NPP. They cannot even give credit where it is due. What does it take away from you if you give credit? President Rawlings carried out the feasibility study for the Bui Dam project, President Kufuor came and found the money and started the project, When president Mills came the money wasn’t enough so he went to China and got additional money to continue, the project was finally finished under president Mahama.
“When I went to commission the project, I invited President Kufuor to come and sit down. I told the whole country that this man started this project, what do you lose? When President Mills was commissioning the N1 project, he invited President Kufuor and he said it is this man who started it. What do you lose? It shows the pettiness, low standards, immaturity of the NPP as a government. There are many other projects that I know they will come to commission them. This plagiarism; I thought that only speeches were plagiarized but now I know that projects can also be plagiarized,” he added.

He run away from June 4 anniversary but always regular on fake unity walk. Which of Mahama's speeches touched on "unity"? This man is really really INCOMPETENT and an 1diot. He wants to take credit as though he used his pocket money to execute those projects. Who in his right senses cuts sod for projects without funding? Rawlings and co are waiting for you so get ready. You call it unity walk but no unity message ever gets delivered. Mahama is as confused as his advisors. Anyway, he has all the cash so let him spend small. The foot soldiers are hungry already.
When will this ford bribe taker conman learn to respect himself? No wonder Papa J referred to him as a rogue.
Unity walk, and there is not talk of unity, only attacking someone else, and also after you have ran away from another party programme (June 4). How can that bring unity to your party?
Mr Mahama, where were you during last week's NDC June 4th Revolution anniversary? You run away from Rawlings and you have now come back to say your usual NO#N#SEN#SE again
