This amount, he explained, is to be contained in the “Infrastructure for Poverty Alleviation Programme”, which will be established by Nana Akufo-Addo’s government, should Ghanaians repose their confidence in the NPP in this year’s elections. Our new programme of infrastructure for poverty eradication is, therefore, going to take US$275 million from the capital expenditure budget. “Every constituency in Ghana, every year from this programme, will get the equivalent of US$1 million to spend on priority infrastructure. You can use this US$1 million a year to deal with the problems of the constituency in the rural and deprived areas. We are going to use the money for the people… We are going to focus on the poor and the problems of the poor”.
