Residents of Adibo in the Northern Region earlier on Wednesday prevented leading members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) from visiting a site under the One Village One Dam project in the community.
The party’s Moments of Truth Series team led by its National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi was in the region to expose what they say are lies by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government about its flagship programme,
One Village One Dam. At Adibo, the residents who are mostly NPP supporters prevented the NDC and the media from taking pictures and videos of the site. The angry residents came out with sticks and stones.
The situation would have been chaotic without the intervention of the Police.
Earlier, the team visited the dam at Nakpache where the Communication Officer of the opposition party said the next NDC government will investigate and prosecute NPP officials involved in the alleged shoddy construction of the One Village One Dam project.
Sammy Gyamfi said a future NDC government will hold the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government officials accountable over the purported shoddy implementation of the one village one dam project.
He said the Minister for Special Initiatives, Madam Hawa Komson will be prosecuted for causing financial loss to the state.
The government in the past has said that, contrary to reports of shoddy work in the first phase of the project, they are impressed with the work done so far.
But the NDC has consistently demanded a complete overhaul of the project urging the government to realign its funding to produce standard dams.
There are concerns that the implementation of the policy has been subpar.
