Isaac Adongo, Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, has criticised the previous Akufo-Addo administration for prioritising slogans over tangible economic progress.
Speaking during the 2025 budget debate on Tuesday, March 18, Adongo accused the former government of mismanaging the economy, contrasting it with the current administration’s focus on providing relief and restoring hope to Ghanaians.
He praised the current government’s “BIG Push” initiative, emphasizing its commitment to infrastructure development, with initial allocations already made.
Adongo contrasted this with the previous administration’s “Year of Roads” slogan, arguing that it failed to yield meaningful results, as evidenced by vehicles getting stuck during campaign seasons.
“We had a government which for several years prioritised sloganeering over real development. We’re bringing the BIG Push. We have made an initial allocation, and you’re complaining.
“When you said ‘Year of Roads,’ what we saw was that your [Minority] own vehicles were getting stuck in your own campaign salvos. We’re going to do proper roads. This is a human-centered budget,” he stated.
