Mahama’s Track Record is Unmatched – Afram Plains South MP

The Member of Parliament for Afram Plains South, Joseph Appiah Boateng, has stated that the John Dramani Mahama-led administration has outperformed the previous government across all sectors of the economy. He cited improvements in infrastructure, agriculture, public finance management, and economic stability to buttress his argument.
Contributing to deliberations on the State of the Nation’s Address at a Parliamentary sitting on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, the MP said major development projects underway in his constituency demonstrate what he described as a clear difference in governance approach and delivery.
According to him, infrastructure projects linking communities such as Adawso to Ekye bridge, Amanfrom to Agodeke road, and Kwame Oppong Nkwanta to Akyem Agogo road, have commenced and are at various stages of completion, improving access to farmers, traders and commuters.
He was optimistic that the projects highlighted above when completed would open up communities in the constituency and reduce the hardship people have endured for years.
Hon. Appiah Boateng, aka JAB 1, also pointed to agricultural interventions by President John Mahama, including the distribution of 10,000 birds to farmers under the “Nkokonketenkete” flagship program of the government aimed at boosting local production and household income. The initiative further seeks to create jobs and improve food security.
He added that an ultra-modern farmers’ center in the constituency which is underway would provide technical support, training, and storage facilities for farmers.
On public finance, the legislator said Afram Plains South has received significantly higher development funding in recent times, allowing long-delayed projects to resume. He noted that statutory payments to district assemblies are up to date, enabling assembly members to function more effectively.
“President Mahama has demonstrated strong commitment to development in Afram Plains South. Over GHS18 million has been allocated to Afram Plains South for developmental projects – an immense improvement compared to the GHS300,000 received in 2024 under the previous Akufo-Addo-led government. Clearly, the President is working diligently for the good of the people. It therefore raises questions as to why some individuals continue to undermine and dishonor the efforts his efforts. One must ask – why the persistent opposition to every positive step taken by this administration”?, he quizzed.
He further cited reductions in fuel and food prices, improved currency stability, and the absence of power supply disruptions as indicators of economic recovery.
“The cost of doing business has reduced, and ordinary people are beginning to feel some relief”, he said.
The MP also highlighted peaceful by-elections and timely payment of assembly members as signs of improved governance and political stability, urging Minority MPs to acknowledge the country’s economic growth advanced by President Mahama or remain silent.
