Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Abraham Amaliba, the Director of Conflict Resolution and a former Director of Legal Affairs for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has stated that the Akufo-led NPP government is not afraid of the wrath of Ghanaians.<\/b><\/p>\n

He expressed dismay about the revelation at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) sitting yesterday, Thursday, May 9, that the government has paid US$11 million to a contractor to complete the Pwalugu multipurpose dam project.<\/p>\n

However, Mr. Amaliba said there is no work done at the site, describing it as \u201ca grassland.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dam and irrigation project, one of the flagship projects of the current government, has three major components, which are power generation, irrigation and flood control.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Friday, the private legal practitioner and NDC communicator emphasised that Ghanaians are not angry enough at the Akufo-Addo government.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday, listening to the public accounts committee, I cringed when I heard 11 million dollars was paid to a contractor for the completion of the Pwaulu Multipurpose Dam. Yet when you go to that place, it is grassland. And you wonder why criminals who have taken over the reins of government would do this to mother Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cAren\u2019t you angry? That you have a situation where money is paid to a contractor and you get to the site, there is nothing there, and you say I shouldn\u2019t describe them as thieves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am of the view that as a country, we have not lived up to expectations as a people. When a government gets to a point where it doesn\u2019t fear the wrath of the people, this is what happens. Governments must always be afraid of the people…but you get to a point where the government does not fear the wrath of the people, you have these things happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cYou give 11 million dollars out as the final payment and yet there is not a single block laid at the place.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo in November 2019 cut sod for construction activities to begin. Parliament subsequently approved the project on February 26, 2020. The project, which is being funded by the Government of Ghana, will take about fifty (50) months to complete.<\/p>\n
