She said the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, had proven to be someone who could bring the needed development to the country, and urged the people to vote massively for him in the upcoming general elections.
Mrs Bawumia said this when she addressed the chiefs and people of Bia East Constituency, at Camp 15 Junction, as part of her campaign tour of the Western North Region.
The Vice-President’s wife stated: “The NPP elected my husband to lead the party because he has what it takes to bring accelerated development and continue the good policies of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.”
Mrs Bawumia lauded the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) which was recently launched by the President, saying it would help improve roads in the country, especially Bia East roads.
The DRIP is aimed at enhancing Ghana’s road network by decentralising road infrastructure development and addressing challenges facing metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies (MMDAs) across the country.
It is designed to empower MMDAs with the resources and equipment necessary to rehabilitate and maintain roads within their various jurisdictions and effect meaningful changes.
As part of the initiative, 2,240 units of road equipment including motor graders, backhoes, rollers, wheel loaders, bulldozers, water tankers, concrete mixers, tipper trucks, low beds and other essential machinery were commissioned to be distributed to all MMDAs.
