The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said it does not want to follow in the footsteps of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to badert that it has made progress in infrastructure development as it is described in the Green paper, but that there was nothing to show on the ground.

Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta, who presented parliament on Monday to review the mid-year budget in Parliament, badured Ghanaians that, unlike the NDC, the government would embark on new projects. infrastructure and roads to relieve them.

"We have looked beyond the legendary bold Green Book, but many unsubstantiated claims of manufactured and constructed infrastructure projects, but in these beautiful pages for the 2016 campaign of our predecessors."

"We have planned for them and found the money to do a lot more than what the Green Paper's authors have done. [NDC] achieved. Dear Ghanaians, I would like to plead with you and make sure … the Akufo-Addo Government will repair your roads and we will repair them; not with words and pictures. "

While accusing the NDC of trading the lie with the Green Paper images, the minister said the "Akufo-Addo government tuned in" had secured funding for the completion of many projects in the country.

He badured that the ruling party "will repair the roads, not with words and images [like in the NDC’s Green Book]".

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has already stated that the road infrastructure of the NDC, which the members boasted while in power, is included only in its Green Paper.
