Captain Smart has this morning drilled the founder and leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) for failing to complete some contracts awarded to him by this government.
Parts of the Tuesday, April 16, 2024 interview on Onua TV’s morning show, Maakye, Percival Kofi Akpaloo, whose presidential ambition began in 2012, having been disqualified by the EC and contested in subsequent polls, fumbled to justify why government contracts he took years ago have not been completed.
The 2024 presidential hopeful, after failing to rate the current administration was asked if he cannot rate the government contrary to what Ghanaians are experiencing as a result of the juicy contracts he is receiving from the administration, he admitted to having secured about four contracts from the NPP government and have executed some to an appreciable level, indicating that his reason not to rate the administration had nothing to do with the contracts he is getting from the government.
When the host put it to him that he has been given over US$1.7million to supply transformers to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and has failed to deliver on it, Mr. Akpaloo said he does not owe the ECG any transformers.
Through the host’s probing, he also admitted to receiving three road contracts from the government, one in the Bono, another in Ahafo and the Ashanti regions.
Mr. Akpaloo indicated that the Mile 15 to Huu road at Odotobri in the Ashanti Region, Berekum and Goaso roads are all at least 65% complete, waiting on the government to pay him in order to complete the projects.
When asked how much the government of Ghana owed him, Kofi Akpaloo said he could not disclose it especially when he had no documentation at his disposal.
Speaking on what the LPG intends to do to alleviate the plight of Ghanaians the man of the ‘sɔme ha, na sɔme ha’ fame said he was going to adopt the child benefit and unemployment support from elsewhere in the developed countries to cushion Ghanaians.
Akpaloo said he will leverage on the natural resources of the state to provide that support by ensuring that the percentage of dividends taken away by foreign investors will be revised.
