The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has dispelled claims by the New Patriotic Party that 29, instead, of the 46 E-Block projects former President John Dramani Mahama makes claims to were completed.
The NDC said the Mahama government, in its bid to enhance access to Secondary Education, awarded a total of 124 Community Day Senior High School (E-Block) projects and completed about 50 by December 2016, out of which President Mahama personally commissioned 46.
“The handing-over notes of the former Minister of Education under the NDC/Mahama government, the venerable Prof. Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang bears out this fact.”
It further noted that each Community Day Senior High School had an ultra-Mordern library, furnished classrooms, an ICT laboratory, a Biology laboratory, a Physics laboratory, Chemistry laboratory, a General Science laboratory, a school bus for students, and a pick-up vehicle for office staff among others.
The party insists that all these facilities were inspected by the President, the Chiefs, community leaders, and the media during the commissioning.
“Interestingly, the first Minister of Education of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government, Mathew Opoku Prempeh is on public record to have said in 2017 that the NDC/Mahama government completed 46 Community Day Senior High Schools. This was widely reported by the media. The internet never forgets.”
“Post-facto this public admission by their own Minister of Education, the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government in a futile effort to distort the superior record of the NDC/Mahama government deceptively reclassified some completed E-Block projects as uncompleted, thereby reducing the total number to 29. This so-called reclassification was largely done on the contrived and flimsy grounds that some of the 46 completed E-blocks had no furniture even though the physical structures had been fully completed.”
“The attached document (stamped fake) being circulated by hired NPP apologists on social media is a product of this warped thinking and should be treated with the utmost contempt.”
The party attached a list of Community Day Senior High Schools that were completed and/or commissioned by former President John Mahama before exiting the office.

Having borrowed more monies than all governments since Nkrumah put together with very little to show for, the NPP has shamelessly resorted to plain sophistry to distort the sterling and superior record of the visionary Nation Builder, H.E John Dramani Mahama.
He posits that President John Dramani Mahama stands tall relative to his record of investments not only in educational infrastructure but in all sectors of the country.
“And no amount of lies can change this fact.”
