Lawyer and member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications team, Hamza Sayibu Suhuyini, has described President John Mahama\u2019s \u201cBig Push\u201d<\/em> agenda as a transformative policy that could significantly boost Ghana\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the JoyNews AM Show<\/strong> on Friday, November 7, Mr Suhuyini said the initiative deserves the attention and support of all Ghanaians, especially because of its focus on road infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe big push agenda I think it is something that we should all be interested in, especially when it comes to road infrastructure in this country. We cannot discount the economic importance of many of these roads that President Mahama seems to be interested in, getting connected not only to town centers but to a very large extent, the capital city. You agree with me that it is inextricably linked to agriculture production,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He noted that the poor state of roads across the country continues to affect the productivity of farmers and the transportation of goods to market centres.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor some time now, we have had to deal with the challenge of farmers being unable to cart their goods to these productive centres because of the poor nature of our road network.\u201d And so for me, it is something that we must commend the government on and hope that at least it doesn\u2019t become one of the usual political rhetorics in the country,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Suhuyini urged Ghanaians to show interest in monitoring the progress of the initiative to ensure accountability and results.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe all must take absolute interest in policing the process and actually getting President Mahama and the entire government to be committed to that initiative. Indeed, we are not dealing with a stranger; we are dealing with a man who, when he was serving his first term as president, was being told he had turned Ghana into a construction site because of the number of developmental projects that were ongoing from the road sector to education and health,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He added that President Mahama\u2019s record in infrastructure development provides confidence that the \u201cBig Push\u201d<\/em> agenda will deliver even greater results.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThat track record is there, it is something we can hold him to and be confident that this time round President Mahama will even approach the road sector infrastructure improvement more than he did in his first term,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Suhuyini also called on civil servants to demonstrate greater commitment to fighting corruption and ensuring value for money in the implementation of government projects.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt is important for us, especially the civil servants\u2014for me that is where the problem comes from. We must all be committed to process and ensure that we try as much as possible to beat down on the tendencies of corruption and inflation when it comes to many of these projects so that we can whip the needed benefit associated with that investment,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He further urged the media to play an active role in monitoring and reporting on the progress of works under the \u201cBig Push\u201d<\/em> initiative.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAnd that is why I think that those of you in the media too must make it a priority, begin to visit the sites, monitor the works of the contractors and keep all of us posted so that even His Excellency President Mahama at the Jubilee House will be in the position to monitor on a daily basis progress of work on these sites. And if they begin to have financial challenges, these reports can be up so that the president, in consultation with the minister responsible for finance, can find acceptable ways of dealing with the issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
