OTI Regional Minister Fire Back At OTI NPP Over His Comment At Parliament.

The Oti regional minister, *John Kwadwo Gyapong* has fire back at NPP in the Oti region for lambasting him over comment he made in Parliament’s local government committee’s sitting.

The Oti regional NPP accused him of lying to Parliament that, all roads in Oti region are under construction and the region has become construction site.

However, the minister in an interview with the media fire back at the opposition NPP and still stand by his account to the local government committee.

According to him, all the major roads in the region are under construction with big push initiative, he mentioned that, Oti region is not benefitting from road construction alone but other social amenities.

He therefore down played NPP’s press statement accusing him of not telling the true state of non- development of the region under his watch.

He however did not mince words on poor performance of the contractor on the Pepesu- Nkwanta stretch which according to him, is a disgrace to him and the government.

He therefore promised to visit the site and engage the contractor and report to the road minister for the determination of the contractor’s fate.

With regards to leaving legacy as the regional minister after 2028, Hon. John Gyapong mentioned several developmental projects ongoing which according to him would be his legacy.

He mentioned the *construction of the Oti bridge, regional hospital, military barracks with air strip, university, fish village and big push projects* across the region.

He therefore debunked the NPP’s assertion that he can’t leave any legacy after 2028, he therefore mentioned that he is doing everything possible for the completion of all this projects before he leaves office in 2028.

End.
