Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Dr. Stephen Amoah popularly known as Sticka, has put his seat in Parliament on the line if the first term of John Dramani Mahama’s government had the same level of infrastructural development as that of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

According to him, if Ghanaians are truthful, they will agree that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government has been actively developing infrastructure across the country.

He made this statement when speaking to the press in Parliament.

Stephen Amoah is on record saying, “If you want, I can gamble with my seat and add money. Let’s count the infrastructural development under Nana Addo and compare it side by side with what the NDC did. If the evidence doesn’t support the position I’m espousing, I will leave my seat. Look at the road network, even in Accra. Look at health and education. When Nana Addo came to Kumasi, did you see the health facilities he commissioned?” he questioned.

Stephen Amoah also touched on the economy, stating that Ghana is currently growing at twice the rate it was before the COVID-19 era.

“We are growing about twice as fast as we were in 2016. In 2016, we were growing at 3.2 or 3.4 percent. After COVID, government workers stayed home but were paid for no work done. Have you ever seen Ghanaian workers being asked to stay home because of the pandemic and still get paid?” he asked.
