Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has accused the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) of stealing building materials meant for the construction of the Garu Hospital.

According to him, his government was working on completing the Garu Government Hospital before they were voted out of power in 2016.

The building, which he said was at an appreciable stage and needed work to ensure its completion, was abandoned by the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led government.

Despite abandoning the project, some members of the government moved in and took away all the building materials.

“Before any election, they will come with the money that they have made and distribute it. What I am telling you is that don’t hesitate, collect it and spend it. When you go into the polling booth, you vote for a party that will improve your lives and will improve your life in a way that will affect your children and grandchildren. They don’t have any realistic intention of improving the lives of the people.

Garu Hospital, we were building it. When they came, they abandoned it. Okay, even if you’ve abandoned it, just leave it. They went and stole all the iron rods and the building materials from the hospital. At least if you’ll not build the hospital, leave the materials there; another government will come and continue, but they stole all the materials,” he said.
