No individual can take credit for NPP government projects – Kpando MCE

The Kpando Municipal Chief Executive, Geoffrey Badasu has debunked what he describes as misconceptions about some completed and ongoing projects in the municipality. 

According to him, some elements of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) are attempting to take credit for New Patriotic Party (NPP) government-initiated projects. 

One such project is the Kpando Municipal Assembly Complex, which is expected to be completed in October 2023.

Speaking to the media at the site, Mr. Badasu stressed that the project was part of an initiative by the Akufo-Addo-led-government to enhance accommodation of local government agencies across the country.

He further indicated that his office submitted a proposal to the Common Fund Secretariat to justify the urgent need for a complex to house the Kpando Municipal Assembly, which currently has offices scattered across a 200 meter radius, under one unit.

“I wrote a letter to the administrator of Common Fund, GNAT office, as part of efforts towards this work. So I see no reason why, the Member of Parliament for this constituency, Hon Della Sowah, will take credit for this project.
