Deputy Minister-designate for Trade, Agribusiness, and Industry, Samson Ahi, has vehemently denied allegations that roads in the Bodi District of the Western North Region were tarred during the previous administration’s tenure. In a recent vetting session before Parliament’s Appointments Committee, Mr. Ahi refuted claims that any significant road development took place in Bodi over the past eight years.
During the vetting, Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, Patrick Boamah, raised concerns about the state of roads in the Bodi District, specifically questioning whether the town roads had been tarred by the previous NPP administration. Mr. Ahi firmly dismissed these claims, stating, “A big false,” and emphasizing that no new tarred roads were constructed in Bodi during the period in question.
Furthermore, Mr. Ahi challenged the assertion by Mr. Boamah, stating, “You [NPP government] didn’t even add one inch of tarred road in 8 years in Bodi district.” Despite the pushback from Mr. Boamah, who warned of potential consequences for misleading the public, Mr. Ahi stood by his statement, inviting evidence to the contrary.
In response to the scrutiny, Mr. Ahi maintained his stance and expressed willingness to retract his statement if presented with evidence of tarred roads in Bodi. The exchange highlights the importance of accurate information dissemination and the need for accountability in public statements regarding infrastructure development.
