The Ashanti Regional NPP Parliamentary Caucus has responded to recent remarks attributed to Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, suggesting that Members of Parliament from the Ashanti Region opted for community roads instead of flyovers as a result of the current state of infrastructure in the region.

The MPs from the region, in a statement, said the allegations are inaccurate and misleading.

“It is unfortunate and disappointing that such remarks would be made in a manner that seeks to malign and unfairly portray Ashanti MPs.

We wish to place on record that no such meeting ever took place between Ashanti MPs and any person in authority, where such a choice or preference was made,” the statement said. 

They also affirm their commitment to advocating for trans-formative and high-impact projects in the region, such as the redevelopment of major markets, such as Kejetia, the construction of schools and hospitals, and others. 

“Ashanti deserves not only community roads, but also modern interchanges, flyovers, expressways, and strategic infrastructure capable of driving economic activity, facilitating trade, and easing mobility for our citizens”, the statement added.
