The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Ahafo Ano South-West, Ashanti Region, has stated that residents, particularly voters at Mankranso, will hold the New Patriotic Party (NPP) accountable in the upcoming December 7 elections for abandoning the only park in the town.
A blame game continues between the two political parties regarding the Mankranso park, which the residents claim the NPP had promised to convert into an astroturf.
According to residents, a bulldozer was brought to the site a week before the NPP parliamentary primaries and removed exactly a day after the primaries, leaving the park with an uneven surface.
The NPP in the district has accused individuals affiliated with the NDC at Mankranso of sabotaging the project by chasing away the contractor with stones.
Dumong Solomon, the NDC’s Ahafo Ano South Secretary, in an interview with Citi FM on Monday, June 17, asserted that Mankranso residents will not forgive the NPP for destroying and abandoning the only social ground in the area.
“This is the only ground for social activities in the area, and the NPP government said they were building an astroturf, and so a week before the NPP primaries, they started destroying the park and said that they were going to construct an astroturf. They came and took the grader from the place a day after the primaries.
“We are only quiet because the NPP will soon come to Mankranso to campaign for votes. They will be talking to the very people they have destroyed their park and we will see the message they will send across," he said.
