Why it matters
This highlights ongoing political tensions and concerns regarding transparency in government-led agricultural development programs in Ghana.
Dambai (O/R), Aug 23, GNA – Mr Seidu Musah, Oti Regional Communication Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has alleged that only 810 birds under the government’s ‘Nkoko Nkitinkiti’ initiative have been brought to the Oti Region, claiming that the beneficiaries were largely members of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He questioned whether the reported number of birds was sufficient to meet the needs of beneficiaries across the region, considering the population, number of communities and the size of the NDC’s membership in the Oti Region.
Mr Musah made the allegation in an exclusive interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) to assess the performance of the NDC government in the region since assuming office.
