Former President John Dramani Mahama has stated that his next government will complete all uncompleted projects started by his predecessor when he wins the 2020 general elections.
He condemned the manner in which projects started under the erstwhile the NDC government have been abandoned by the Akufo-Addo administration.
According to the former President, it is a waste of the taxpayers’ money for the President Akufo-Addo government to abandon the projects that he started when in power.
He noted that his next administration will not repeat the mistakes of the present government because it deprives Ghanaians of the much-needed development.
Mr. Jon Mahama gave the assurance in a speech he delivered as the special guest of honour at the 75th-anniversary celebration of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Ghana at Adutor in the Volta Region.
This is not the first time the 2020 flag bearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has complained of the neglect of his handiwork.
Earlier this month, Mr. Mahama said that all the infrastructural projects he started which were not completed before he left, have come to a halt.

“It is a pity”, he told market women and party supporters in Sogakope in the Volta Region during one of his tours, bemoaning: “Everything that we started has come to a standstill”.
“I go round the country and most of the roads; where we left them on 7 January 2017, that is where the roads have ended.
“All the community-based secondary schools, where we left them on 7 January 2017, that is where they have ended.”, Mr Mahama observed.
“All the projects have come to a standstill because the NDC left office, the community secondary schools have come to a standstill. All the road projects have come to a standstill.”
“And the tragedy”, he noted, “Is, if you ask the New Patriotic Party (NPP): ‘What are they doing about the road?’ they will say free SHS.”
“If you ask about the CHPS compound, they will say we have given you free SHS. When you ask about jobs, they will say we have given you free SHS”, Mr. Mahama said.
