The Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has stated that the government’s investment in health infrastructure in the Volta Region is “unprecedented”.
Addressing a press conference on the “abuse of the electoral loyalty of the Volta Region” on 30 October 2024, at the NPP’s Regional Headquarters in Ho, Mr Ahiagbah highlighted ongoing efforts under the government’s Agenda 111 project, which includes the construction of seven new hospitals across various districts in the Volta Region.
This initiative, he said, underscores the government’s commitment to improving healthcare access and services for residents in the region.
“These projects represent a historic investment in health infrastructure in the Volta Region,” Ahiagbah said. “Seven new hospitals are currently being constructed in Adaklu Waya, Kpetoe, Anloga-Agortoe, Ve-Agbome, Ave Dakpa, Dzolokpuita, and Kpeve.
This, in addition to the completed Ketu North Municipal Hospital in Weta, marks eight secondary hospital projects in this region alone, which is an extraordinary achievement,” he noted.
Agenda 111
He added that: “The coming onstream of these district hospitals will help solve the perennial access to healthcare problem in the region and provide jobs for the thousands of trained health workers waiting for postings.
The Agenda 111 project is estimated to create 68,000 direct jobs and 70,000 or more indirect jobs. Ladies and gentlemen, the lion’s share of these jobs will come to the Volta Region”.
He reminded Voltarians that the NDC will abandon the Agenda 111 projects, as they did the Kufuor Euroget projects, costing the Volta Region its share of the 68,000 jobs and associated opportunities, adding that “we cannot allow this to happen when we have the power to stop it by voting for the NPP to ensure continuity”.
He mentioned that the government has initiated 30 Community Health Planning and Services (CHPS Compound) Projects. Of these, he mentioned that 18 have been completed and are serving the people’s health needs. The remaining 12 projects are near completion.
The government has also completed the construction of two disease control and isolation centers in the region: one in my beloved Ketu South and one in Keta.
“Let me reiterate the invitation to you to explore our government’s performance using the tracker to appreciate the full extent of the NPP’s investments in the Volta Region. When you check the data, you will find that we have built more roads, factories, bridges, boreholes, computer distribution centers, court buildings, drainage, and water supply systems in the Volta Region than the NDC,” he added.
No NDC investment justification
He further indicated that: “The point is quite clear that while the NDC claims the Volta Region is its stronghold, it has not invested in the region to justify the loyalty of the good people of this region. NDC ignored the Volta Region regarding the choice of running mate.
“I am convinced that the Volta Region has men and women in the NDC who can be effective running mates, but as always, the NDC bypassed its stronghold. At the same time, the NPP prioritized its stronghold and chose Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh as running mate to Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia”.
He lamented that “The NDC’s hold on the Volta Region is affecting not only its development but also the political evolution of its people”. He suggested that the “the only way to end this abuse is for us to vote against the NDC on 7th December to jolt them out of their abusive slumber to rebirth taking place in the Volta Region”
