- POTILICS: Government Outdoors Website To Track Projects (Pictures)
The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has outdoored a website designed to capture and make easily accessible, data on all of the Akufo-Addo government’s infrastructure projects since it assumed office in January 2017. The website, www.deliverytracker.gov.gh, has been populated with data sourced from the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs), and provides information on the status of roads, agriculture, industry, sports, housing, airport, sea defense, fish landing sites, markets, security and digital infrastructure. The Vice President, who unveiled the website in Accra on Tuesday, during a virtual Townhall meeting showcasing the NPP's infrastructure record, said the centralized portal will enable all Ghanaians, researchers, CSOs, and interested persons have access to and interrogate the data. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dubai-john-mahama-s-son-shafik-ties-knot-with-lover-photos-video The Townhall meeting formed part of a Results Fair organised by the Ministry of Monitoring and Evaluation in collaboration with the Ministry of Information. “The infrastructure data can be obtained by sector (education, health, etc.) by region or by district. As the name implies, “delivery tracker” is a portal where you can track the status of delivery of government promises and also infrastructure projects. It will enhance transparency and accountability in our governance. It will also enable government to monitor all infrastructure projects to ensure that uncompleted projects are prioritized in the process of capital budgeting,” Dr Bawumia explained. “The portal will be regularly updated. As far as we know, Ghana is the only country in Africa that has implemented this publicly accessible delivery tracker for its infrastructure projects. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/stop-hiding-behind-dirty-politics-some-of-you-are-naturally-dirty-brigette-dzogbonuku “I would like to note that we have not applied any standardized units for counting projects. For example, you may have a project that constructs 120 units of apartments and another project that constructs 25 units of apartments. They will be counted as two projects in the database. We are focusing on the description of the projects, their details and locations so that we can monitor.” To make the data even more user-friendly, “Pictures and digital addresses are being added for each project on the portal,” the Vice President noted. Commenting on claims that the Akufo-Addo government had nothing to show for its almost four-year term, Vice President Bawumia declared “Our opponents are welcome to show us what they accomplished by way of infrastructure initiated in their first term in office. This is because virtually all the key projects they like to point to were completed in their second term of office. We are however happy to compare our three and a half year record with their 8 year record. The data will show that the infrastructure we have provided in many districts over just three and a half years surpasses what they provided in 8 years. We have done more while actually spending less as a percentage of GDP because of value for money.

We have also put in place a solid base of digital infrastructure to propel the digital economy in Ghana" he said. “Ladies and gentlemen, I will like to note that we are not just building infrastructure, we are building a nation. We are building all this infrastructure while staying committed to our social contract to providing free senior high school education, creating jobs, transforming agriculture, industrializing the economy, sustaining the national health insurance scheme, digitizing the economy, ensuring the public safety of Ghanaians, and keeping the lights on. We still have much more to do." he stressed “The future is bright if we stay the course. That is why we are asking the good people of Ghana to give Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP “four more to do more for you.” READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/pass-the-affirmative-action-bill-now-2016-ppp-running-mate See pictures below: Story by: Joshua Kwabena Smith
- POLITICS: "We Are Completing All Inherited Projects" - Veep
The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has shot down claims by the opposition NDC saying the Akufo-Addo administration has neglected projects it 'inherited' from the previous government. Presenting the Akufo-Addo government's infrastructure record in Accra, Dr. Bawumia said it is pure propaganda for anybody to claim that the current government has not continued with projects initiated by its predecessor. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dubai-john-mahama-s-son-shafik-ties-knot-with-lover-photos-video "Contrary to the propaganda, the evidence is that we have also completed or working to complete many projects that our government inherited," Dr. Bawumia said.

- POLITICS: "Our Infrastructure Projects Are Value For Money" - Bawumia
The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia says the Akufo-Addo government, has, apart from its pursuit of an inclusive infrastructure development for all, has also focused on delivering the best value for money for all of its projects. During his presentation of the Akufo-Addo government's infrastructure record on Tuesday, Dr. Bawumia revealed staggering disparities in the value of similar projects undertaken by the erstwhile John Mahama government and current projects by the Akufo-Addo government. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dubai-john-mahama-s-son-shafik-ties-knot-with-lover-photos-video In Dr. Bawumia's comparative value for money analysis, the cost of projects undertaken by the Mahama government appear to be quiet outrageous. Vice President said while the NPP government is constructing four major interchanges; Tema, Pokuase, Tamale and Obetsebi Lamptey interchanges at a cost of $289m, the Mahama administration built the Kwame Nkrumah interchange alone at a cost of a staggering $260m. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/stop-hiding-behind-dirty-politics-some-of-you-are-naturally-dirty-brigette-dzogbonuku For the Pokuase interchange, which is 75% complete, Dr. Bawumia explained that the loan agreement for the project was signed in November 2016 for a three-tier interchange, but the Akufo-Addo government renegotiated for a four-tier interchange without any increase in cost. Another major interchange, which is part of the interchanges the NPP government is building in its first term, is the Tamale interchange. The Tamale interchange, the first ever interchange in the Northern Sector of the country, is 44% complete and is expected to be completed by the middle of 2021.

The Vice President has also announced that next month, a sod will be cut for the construction of an interchange at PTC in Takoradi. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/pass-the-affirmative-action-bill-now-2016-ppp-running-mate Apart from the value for money comparison in the road sector, analysts have also raised eyebrows on disparities in the cost of hospitals the current government is building and those built under Mahama. While the Akufo-Addo government recently cut sod for a 600-bed Eastern Regional hospital at a cost of €70m Euro, the Mahama government rehabilitated the Ridge at a cost of $220m.

- POLITICS: "We Have Ensured Infrastructure For All; No District Was Denied Development' - Dr. Bawumia
The Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumua has stated that the Akufo-Addo government has embarked on a massive infrastructure for all program which has left no district in Ghana behind since assuming the governance of the country three and half years ago. During his presentation of the NPP government's investment in infrastructure projects, Dr. Bawumia said having realised the disproportionate allocation of infrastructure in the country, the Akufo-Addo government has, in its first term in office, pursued an agenda to ensure the even spread of amenities to accelerate growth at both the local and national levels. He said "Infrastructure for all includes all the amenities that people need in order to unleash the potentials for growth in their communities, constituencies, and districts, and ultimately improve the conditions of everyday living. It also includes facilities and systems to support industrial and other economic activities," READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dubai-john-mahama-s-son-shafik-ties-knot-with-lover-photos-video The Vice President noted that historically, government infrastructure projects have been concentrated in the big cities at the expense of deprived communities, but the Akufo-Addo government has decided to leave no one behind as far as development is concerned. "Historically, the provision of infrastructure has been concentrated in the big cities to the exclusion of the deprived and rural communities who lack basic infrastructure amenities." he stressed. Vice President Bawumia hinted "To ensure equitable and inclusive growth, the supervision of infrastructure amenities or facilities should not be dictated narrowly by our politics. Every community, district, and region deserves expanded opportunities for growth and improvements in their standard of living. It should not be for government or politicians to decide on the sharing of infrastructure amenities on the basis of tribal, ideological, and political preferences" READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/stop-hiding-behind-dirty-politics-some-of-you-are-naturally-dirty-brigette-dzogbonuku EVIDENCE OF INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ALL He gave a breakdown of all projects the government has undertaken, as well as their various stages of completion in key sectors such as education, health, roads, agriculture, digitization, sports water and sanitation, etc, in all regions. "With our core policy to leave no district or constituency behind, we have steadily ensured that every constituency or district benefits from some basic infrastructure project," he said. READ ALSO:Read also: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/dr-paa-kwesi-nduom-is-disappointed-in-npp-brigette-dzogbenuku-discloses "Over the past three and half years, we have implemented different infrastructure programs across sectors: in total about 17,334 individual projects have been started since 2017. We have completed a total number of 8746 projects throughout the country. A further 8588 projects are at different stages of completion throughout the country." he mentioned. Dr. Bawumia added that all these inclusive infrastructure vision have been achieved using government's flagship projects such as One Constituency One Million Dollars, One Village One Dam One Constituency One Ambulance, One District One Factory, Zongo Development Fund and One District One Warehouse, among many others, as vehicles. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/pass-the-affirmative-action-bill-now-2016-ppp-running-mate To demonstrate the indisputable projects the Akufo-Addo government has undertaken, Dr. Bawumia urged the media and the general public to independently verify on www.deliverytracker.gov.gh, a special website the government has created which contains all projects, sector, region, district, town as well as state of completion.
