Mahama’s mirage
He lamented the terrible nature of roads in the area and wondered where the unprecedented road infrastructure that the Mahama touted as their achievements had gone.
“The unprecedented road infrastructure is a mirage. Everywhere I go people complain of roads, and therefore the claim can only be described as propaganda. But measures have been put in place by my govt to address the problem and Akrodie, Goaso, Kenyasi, Hwidiem and others will their roads fixed soon through the emergency spot improvement programme and contracts will be awarded soon.”
He assured that the weak economy inherited from the Mahama government was improving and soon Ghanaians will see more projects and improvement in the living conditions.

The Paramount Chief of Yamfo and President of the Ahafo Council of Chiefs, Nana Ansah Adu Baah, appealed to the president to grant Ahafoman the region.
He assured that the area was endowed to manage their own affairs but appealed to the government for the provision of social services in the area.
