The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has vowed to prosecute Mavis Hawa Koomson, the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, over what it describes as failed policies implemented by the Ministry of Special Development Initiative (MSDI).
The NDC claims these policies have resulted in significant financial losses to the state.
According to the NDC’s Deputy General Secretary, Mustapha Gbande, a future NDC government will thoroughly investigate initiatives like the One-Village-One-Dam project and the Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP), which were intended to provide communities with access to potable water and modernized toilet facilities.
These projects, spearheaded by the MSDI under Hawa Koomson’s leadership, in the view of the NDC have allegedly failed.
Gbande suggested that the ministry may have been used by the NPP as a conduit to divert state funds, and he emphasized the need to trace the financial losses linked to these projects, particularly the One-Village-One-Dam initiative.
In addition to the alleged financial mismanagement, Gbande stated that a future NDC government would also prosecute Hawa Koomson for acts of violence believed to have been orchestrated against NDC members in Kasoa.
He cited incidents such as the gunfire and motorbike attacks at the Steps to Christ registration centre in 2020 and the shooting on December 7, 2020, which injured three people, as matters that would be thoroughly investigated and addressed.
