“How does the Akufo-Addo Administration expect, particularly, MPs from the Volta Region to explain this to our constituents?
“More fundamentally, how will Government justify this aberration in the face of the 1992 Constitution which enjoins Governments to undertake even and balanced development of all regions?”
The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, discussed government’s plans to fix deplorable roads across the country during Wednesday’s budget presentation.
The budget had a list of roads to be constructed in 15 regions, but the Volta region wasn’t captured.
This was sparked questions from the Minority, who believe the government is deliberately ignoring the Volta region.
