The Tano North Communications Department of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ahafo Region has taken aim at Dr. Gideon Boako, Member of Parliament for Tano North Constituency, accusing him of political deception over the much-delayed Duayaw Nkwanta–Bomaa road project.
According to the NDC communications team, a viral video circulating on social media shows Dr. Boako appealing to President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC government to construct the Duayaw Nkwanta–Bomaa road.
At a press conference in Dormaa, Deputy Communication Officer for Tano North, Kwame Osea Boateng, labelled the MP’s remarks as “political mischief.” He criticized Dr. Boako and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for failing to complete the road despite being in power for eight years, noting that Dr. Boako served as Economic Advisor to then Vice President Mahamadu Bawumia during the period.
Mr. Boateng pointed out that the NDC began work on the road in 2016, only for construction to stall when the NPP came to power. He added that, despite sod-cutting ceremonies held in 2020 and 2024 for the same project, no substantial progress has been made.
Assuring residents, Mr. Boateng promised that the next NDC government, led by President John Dramani Mahama, would restart and complete the project under the Big Push Infrastructure Programme.
Meanwhile, Assembly Member for Bomaa-Asikesu, Bajar Bisuma Kwame, also criticized Dr. Boako, stating that the MP had not visited the Assembly this year and therefore could not have made requests for District Roads Improvement Programme machinery as claimed.
He urged residents of Bomaa and its environs to remain patient, assuring them that the government is working to address their road infrastructure concerns.
