The Bono Regional NPP Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC, has intimated that the current government has undertaken projects in the region as a against claims that it has not.
Responding to claims that the region has lots of NPP stalwarts but have ignored projects, he stated that it was untrue.
“I think that with this statement there was no need for me to respond to him. But to set the record straight,;he is saying that there is no tangible project because we have not printed any green book so,;there is no project. I want to say we have done a lot of projects”.

His statement comes on the back of allegations by the Bono Deputy Communications Director of NDC, Eric Adjei, that there are no tangible projects in the three Bono Regions [Bono, Ahafo and Bono East].
The NDC Deputy Director of Communications for the Bono Region, recently alleged that a tall list of stalwarts of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are natives of Bono, Ahafo, and Bono East regions but are not seeking the interest of the regions.
Pointing out projects undertaken by the Akufo-Addo-led government, he indicated that currently in the Ahafo region, the feeder roads from Hwediem to Kenyase and from Hwediem to Tema is seriously being worked on.
Mr. Baffoe averred that the regional coordinating council building in the region is 95% complete and indicated that it will be commissioned at the end of the year.
“The National Health Insurance Scheme Building is almost complete and I know that building will be commissioned [in] September 2022”.
