Ghana Water Project Delay Fuels Political Tensions in Damongo
Damongo Water Project Delay Sparks Political Row A completed water project in Damongo, Ghana, remains uncommissioned, causing tensions between the ruling NDC and the opposition NPP. The Concerned NPP Youth of Damongo Constituency held a press conference, expressing their frustration over the delay. Constituency Secretary Kadiri Abdul-Rahaman stated, "The failure to commission this facility not only undermines its purpose but also represents a great disservice to the people of Damongo." The project, initiated by NPP MP Lawyer Abu Jinapor and completed in December 2024 at a cost of 17,173,000 Ghanaian cedis, is fully functional but awaits commissioning. The youth are demanding accountability and threatening protests if the issue isn't resolved within two weeks. This highlights the ongoing challenges of infrastructure development and political accountability in Ghana.
