The National Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has announced that he will lead a delegation to arrest the Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mavis Hawa Koomson, for allegedly causing financial loss to the state over the “One Village, One Dam” initiative.
Mustapha Gbande also revealed that, they will hold Madam Koomson accountable for the procurement of ambulances.
He claimed that she involved companies, including those connected to the President’s children, in transactions that led to a loss of GH¢109 million.
In an interview with Adom News, Mustapha Gbande stated that Hawa Koomson will be arrested on December 10, 2024, immediately after the NDC wins the election because she failed to construct a single dam under the “One Village, One Dam” policy.
“We will not allow her to escape accountability. The people deserve answers for the failed promises under the ‘One Village, One Dam’ policy. Hawa Koomson will have to answer for the financial losses incurred under the guise of the ‘One Village, One Dam’ initiative. We will ensure that justice is served” he stated.
Speaking at an engagement with religious leaders in Kasoa, Mustapha Gbande accused the NPP government of collapsing Ghana’s economy through corruption and mismanagement.
“The NPP government has failed Ghanaians through rampant corruption and mismanagement. The economic hardships we are facing today are a direct result of their negligence.”
He also called on NPP flagbearer Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia to clarify whether he is a Muslim or a Christian and stop deceiving religious leaders.
Mustapha Gbande said he would resign from his position the day Dr. Bawumia recites the Qur’an and promised that the NDC would continue to expose the lies and corruption under the NPP government.
“Dr. Bawumia should come out and be honest about his faith. Enough of the deception. If he can recite the Qur’an, I will resign from my position” he said.
Meanwhile, the NDC Parliamentary candidate for the Awutu Senya East Constituency, Phillis Naa Koryoo Okunor, claimed that only 10 percent of Kasoa’s youth are employed, out of the 68 percent youth population in Kasoa.
She promised that, the next NDC government will build more factories in the Awutu Senya East Constituency to create jobs and reduce unemployment and crime rates in Kasoa.
