I didn’t come to lie to anyone in Ghana. That is not the reason why I came but to work and transform the country with the help of my appointees”.

He told the residents that Accra will have its fair share of the construction of roads as the Finance Minister announced to Parliament in the 2020 budget.

He outlined that: “In 2020, all the things we need to do for the citizens to have comfort will be done. We are going to make sure inner-city roads, main trunk roads [are constructed]”.

The President admitted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government “can’t do everything but we will do what is significant so that everyone will witness that progress is coming back to Ghana”
