NDC MANIFESTO: $10 Billion Infrastructure Investment and Project Completion Plan - JM Vows

John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has committed to launching an ambitious $10 billion infrastructure investment plan over five years if elected in the December 7 presidential elections. The plan aims to bolster key sectors of the country’s economy.

Mahama also assured voters that his administration would prioritize the completion of ongoing projects rather than initiating new ones—a practice that has often led to the abandonment of significant infrastructure developments when governments
Ghana has long grappled with the issue of uncompleted projects, with notable examples including the $3 billion STX housing deal and the Saglemi Housing Project, which remains a point of contention.

During the NDC’s manifesto launch at the University of Education, Winneba, Mahama stated, “We will implement a $10 billion, 5-year infrastructure investment in critical sectors.” He further emphasized his commitment to finishing existing projects, saying, “We will carry out an inventory of all stalled or abandoned projects, including hospitals, schools, electrification, water, and road developments, and allocate annual budgets to ensure their completion.”
