The Paramount Chief of Keta, Togbui James Ocloo V, has expressed disappointment in former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for failing to deliver on his promise to construct a port in the Keta area.
Although work on the project began in 2019 with the appointment of a director, progress has stalled, with office buildings for the Keta Port still at the foundation stage despite years of assurances.
In an interview with Channel One TV, Togbui Ocloo V criticized the former president for not advancing the project significantly and urged President-elect John Dramani Mahama to prioritise its completion.
He emphasized the importance of the port in creating jobs and boosting economic opportunities for the people of Keta.
“Former President John Agyekum Kufuor cut a sword at Keta here and they said they were building a mini fishing port for us over here with some facilities.
“We waited and waited, and that government left power. Nothing was done. I have said that I don’t want to go into politics too much. We chiefs, we don’t play politics.
“We have been going for workshops and had meetings with the government officials and along the way, it was recently they started [some works], and my expectation was that work will happen much more than this one.”
