Regional News of Monday, 26 April 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe governing New Patriotic Party and the opposition National Democratic Congress are in a verbal tussle over infrastructural growth in the Afram Plains area. According to the NDC MP, the president’s promise is a deceptive one and that it will only take a party committed to development in the area, like the NDC, to fulfil. In a quick response, the Eastern Regional Secretary of the NPP, Jeff Konadu who has contested the parliamentary seat for both Afram Plains North and South in the past, said the government of Nana Akufo-Addo remains committed to fulfilling the promise it made to the people of Afram Plains. The NDC has continuously chided the NPP for ignoring the area in terms of development despite the NDC itself also enjoying dominance in the area. The Afram Plains area is a near landlocked area that has all of its major entry points being via a crossing over either the Afram or Volta Lake.
