Member of Parliament for Sagnarigu, Alhaji A.B.A Fuseini, is disappointed in the Akufo-Addo-led administration for their failure to accomplish majority of their campaign promises especially the One Village, One Dam project.
In an interview with www.ghanaweb.com, Alhaji A.B.A Fuseini said government’s inability to provide each district with dams like they promised is a big failure on their part because he was able to provide his constituency with dams for the past four years, as an individual, and is yet to construct another.
He said, “The president promised they were going to produce one village one dam in the three Northern regions. I have more than 200 villages in my constituency, I haven’t seen one dugout but even I, as a Member of Parliament, I have done a number of dams in my constituency.”
During the 2016 elections, President Nana Akufo-Addo promised to construct dams in villages in the three northern regions should he win the election. This was to encourage dry season farming in order for Ghana to become self-sufficient in food production.
The president was reported to have said, “As far as this part of our world is concerned, I want to go further and talk about one village, one dam. One village, one dam’ policy is to help Ghana become self-sufficient in food production and even become an exporter of food to the sub-region”.
But after a year in office, the government has failed to fulfil its promise, leaving many Ghanaians to question their ability to execute their plans.
A.B Fuseini expressed grave disappointment in the government’s failure to establish the said project adding that they (government) only give excuses when questions are raised on the commencement of the One Village, One Dam policy.
“Government in a full year has not been able to undertake even one dugout; when we ask they (government) said it was in the rainy season. This is now the fifth month of the dry season not even a single dugout from the government,” he claimed.

LUK AT WHO IS TALKING, FOR 8YRS IN GOVERNMENT WHAT YOU DID CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION WHAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE IN 1YR.
YET YOUR PEOPLE ARE STILL SHARING GROUND WATER WITH COWS. ARE YOU NOT ASHAMED?
when you vote for an ***barred word*** ***barred word*** belonging to a cursed party, this is exactly what you get - uninformed, myo0pic, biased, and propagandist statements.
the typical life of an ed10t. in his (ed10t) mind 8 years is not enough for him to do anything but one year is more than enough for someone else to do alot. gone were the days that these ed10ts used to f00>l us. thank God some of us are educated now and know who they really are. nothing will ever make me vote for a party like ndc. Akua Donkor is a better alternative.
Please continue building the dams. I was expecting you to have built more than enough after eight years of Mahama rule. Please don't distract the focus of the new administration. Tell me of any social intervention you instituted to make the lives of your people better. It has always been the desire of the few previleged in their society like Fuseini to cow their people down. Just like the savanna vegetation, the big trees does not like the smaller trees to catch up with them. Go and get the guinea fowls that flew to Burkina Faso. Shame unto you.
Is the NDC man telling us that the NPP manifesto is for one year or because that so called IMANI raised the issue. Please it's a pity if educated people behave like this. Are you saying the mandate is for one year, so everything should be fulfilled. Please be real and stop this shallow thinking. IMANI is now claiming they didn't know how bad the economy was so little has been achieved. Talking is cheap.
Can somebody educate him that the president was not elected to be building only Dams. He has countless number of other things to do. so go ahead and build your dams. the president is not competing with you
If you are so good at building dams, just go on building them for your constituents. Why wait for Nana Addo?
