Speaking at the NDC’s Sectoral Press Briefing held on Tuesday, September 3, on the party’s 2024 manifesto, Member of Parliament (MP) for Adaklu who is also the Minority Chief Whip, Kwame Agbodza emphasised the importance of investing in infrastructure as a cornerstone for economic development and improving the quality of life for all Ghanaians.
He revealed that the NDC's infrastructure agenda would focus on critical sectors such as transportation, energy, and healthcare.
Agbodza highlighted plans to expand and modernise the country’s roads network, with particular attention to linking rural areas to urban centers to boost trade and accessibility.
Additionally, the NDC government would prioritise the construction of new hospitals and the upgrading of existing healthcare facilities to ensure that quality healthcare is accessible to every Ghanaian, regardless of location.
The Adaklu lawmaker underscored the NDC’s commitment to building resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding the challenges posed by climate change.
He noted that the party would invest in sustainable urban planning, flood control measures, and the development of eco-friendly public transportation systems.
Through these transformative infrastructure projects, Agbodza asserted, the NDC aims to create a more prosperous and equitable Ghana.
"When voted for, the NDC government will embark on a US$10 billion accelerated infrastructural plan to drive job creation and prioritise the completion of uncompleted and abandoned government infrastructural projects across all sectors."
We will also revamp the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) to undertake strategic self-financing projects for jobs and national transformation.
Our next administration will construct, rehabilitate and expand water supply systems to guarantee sustainable and equitable access to clean and safe water for all communities, including the Ho and surrounding catchment areas, the Sogakope Trans-Boundary system and the Kpeve and Hohoe systems, Tamale and surrounding catchment areas, Yendi, Sang and surrounding catchment areas, Savlugu, Pong-Tamale, Diare and surrounding areas and sustainably address the perennial Bagre Dam spillage disaster," he said.
