Kofi Totobi Quakyi, a founding member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has asserted that Sekondi only experiences developmental progress when the NDC is in power.
Speaking at the campaign launch for the NDC’s Parliamentary Candidate for Sekondi, Blay Nyamekye Armah, also known as Lawyer Blay, he highlighted that the NDC government was responsible for significant projects like the Albert Bosumtwi Sam Fishing Harbour and the Sekondi Railways, which created jobs.
In contrast, he claimed that subsequent NPP governments have stalled development in the area.
He urged the residents of Sekondi to vote for John Mahama as President and Blay Nyamekye Armah as their Member of Parliament to ensure continued progress for the region.
“Myself and the late MP Albert Bosomtwi Sam, we went to Japan. While we were having a conversation, he [Albert Bosomtwi Sam] suggested that we should talk to the Japanese and convince them to come and put up a fishing harbour ni Sekondi because it would help us. That is how we got the Albert Bosumtwi Sam finishing Habour and we named it after him.
“Have we seen any major developments since Albert left office? All they brought is the AstroTurf but does it create jobs? You only use the turf to exercise when you are tired from working. Every long-lasting development that has occurred in Sekondi Takoradi has been the work of the NDC.
“John Mahama brought the Takoradi Port Expansion project. The late Atta Mills brought the Sekondi-Kojokrom railway project. When the NDC is in government, we will bring progress,” he stated.
