The Volta regional chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kwadwo Gyapon Kudjoe has blamed officials of the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) and Urban roads Department for misleading the president on state of road works in the Hohoe municipality.
President Mahama in his recent state of the nation address in parliament, listed several road projects, he said are progressing steadily in the Volta region, including the Ve-Golokwati to Hohoe and the Hohoe township roads.
An assertion, which angered some residents, ostensibly because the contractors have abandoned the projects many months ago with very little work done.
The roads and highways minister, Inusah Fuseini who also defended the president's assertion, quoting 68 percent of work done, had to virtually eat humble pie, when he visited area last Wednesday and realized the reality on the grounds is far different from what is on paper.
