A member of the communications team of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr. Ayeh, has challenged former Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia to account for the much-touted Construction Bank for which he cut the sod in 2019.
Speaking during the Anopa Bofour morning show on Angel Radio and TV, Dr. Ayeh questioned the whereabouts and current status of the proposed bank, expressing frustration over what he described as unfulfilled promises made by the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
“Dr. Bawumia must show Ghanaians the Construction Bank he cut sod for in 2019,” Dr. Ayeh said, arguing that the initiative was heavily publicized but has yielded no tangible results several years later.
He accused the former government of using sod-cutting ceremonies as political tools without following through on implementation, particularly in the housing and construction sector where the bank was expected to provide affordable financing.
Dr. Ayeh further stated that such projects contributed to public mistrust in governance, insisting that accountability is necessary as political actors continue to make new promises.
The Construction Bank was announced as part of efforts to support Ghana’s construction industry and address housing deficits, but critics have repeatedly raised concerns about its progress since its launch.
Neither Dr. Bawumia nor the NPP has officially responded to the latest comments.
