<\/p>\nThe Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Joseph Kofi Adda, says claims that the Wa Water Project was started under the erstwhile Mahama administration should be disregarded.<\/p>\n
Mr. Adda says the project was the brainchild of the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration under President Kufour.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis project started in 2008; a delegation including myself and current President Akufo went to the Far East and China to look for funds for this project.\u201d<\/p>\n
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Upper West Region has chided President Akufo-Addo for failing to give former President Mahama credit for the project which was commissioned on Monday.<\/p>\n
President Akufo-Addo at the commissioning of the project on Monday, said, \u201cit was in his (President Kufuor\u2019s) time that the financing for this project was secured, as far back as 2008. But, unfortunately, after he left [office in 2008], it took five years under the NDC successor governments before the construction of the project began.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
President Akufo-Addo added that \u201cGod has his own way of doing things. A project that was started by Kufuor is going to be commissioned by Akufo-Addo. That is the way the Almighty works\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
But the NDC says the project was started by them under President Mahama. The party in a statement signed by the Upper West Regional Director of Communications, Issaku Issa Jerry, said \u201cPresident Akufo Addo is deceiving Ghanaians to score cheap political points.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that \u201cPresident Akufo Addo and the NPP must provide evidence that the project started under Kufour.\u201d<\/p>\n
