The Builsa South District Chief Executive (DCE), Daniel Kwame Gariba, has revealed that the road awarded by John Dramani Mahama from Chuchuluga to Wuesi, Weaga- Fumbisi, and Chuchuluga- Sandema was awarded without any funding source. Apexnewsgh.com report
Mr. Gariba said, during the heat of the campaign in 2016, “We saw some busy works but shortly after the election everything went quiet.
“You remember in 2016 in the heat of the election somewhere in September, then President John Mahama cut sod for the road from Chuchuluga to Wuesi. We saw some busy work but shortly after the election everything went quiet”. He narrates
He further explained: “We didn’t see any further action. I remember myself the then Bulsa North DCE Mr. David Afoko we made frantic efforts and went to the road Minister a number of times, went to the Regional Highway Engineer talking about it. And we then realized, that road was awarded alright but, it was a certain portion of the road that was awarded and even that award was not for them to asphalt it but is for graveling, graveling the road from Chuchuluga up to Wesi”.
He said, NDC awarded the road, hoping it will give them some votes.
“But we realized that it was a particular portion from Chuchuluga to Sandema. Before that, they jumped from Weaga to Fumbisi, and all that was for graveling and not even for bitumen. The saddest part of it was that the project did not have a funding source, and documentation on that road project was not completed. But you know, when you want to have early ejaculation…… they rushed things, awarded the road, hoping that will give them some votes to win the 2016 elections and that didn’t work out and reality has done on all of us after the 2016 general elections when power change hands we then began to see the truth on the ground. This project did not have a funding source. So, we made a follow up to the road Minister, they also took their time to get a funding source and it was later repackaged from graveling to bitumen” Mr. Gariba told Apexnewsgh.com
