President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo
Twitter has been packed with comments and questions directed at President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo following his 8th national address to the country.
Most of these questions have been centered on some decisions made by the president including his promise to build 88 new hospitals.
Using the hashtag ‘GhanaNeedsAnswers’, some Ghanaians on Twitter are not in support of the idea of the construction of new hospitals when there are old uncompleted ones languishing.
To prove their seriousness, the tweeps decided to dig out pictures of several unfinished hospital projects by previous Mahama-led administration. To them, the 88 hospital infrastructure promised by the government is a sham.
“With contempt to the recent claim by government to build 88 districts hospitals and the promise government made 9months ago to complete the almost completed hospitals shows their records of ideology in infrastructures are abysmal,” a twitter user wrote.
“The erstwhile JM government, made huge investments in enhancing healthcare delivery. $1.2bn healthcare centres were in various levels of completion before handing over power. You decided not to complete those in 3years, but promise u will build 88 hospitals,” Another wrote.
“I will build 88 District hospitals in less than a year. Mr President, Mahama never built the health facilities with his own money, complete the abandoned health facilities, Ghanaians deserve better than your unachievable Herculean promises,” a tweet read.
Some are also finding answers to what they described as government borrowing huge sums of money but have little to account for.
“How has this government borrowed GHc130billion and achieved so little. Their response to everything appears to be Free SHS. Terrible #GhanaNeedsAnswers,” A twitter user wrote
“This is what Akufo-Addo is using the 1 billion dollars from the IMF for. When he lied to them that he was coming to save the economy with it. Lied logically, lied International. Lying everywhere. #GhanaNeedsAnswers,” another wrote.

Your promise to build 88 district hospitals, is welcomed. What is the status of Uncompleted and Mahama hospital Projects? What about the completed ones? Still under lock and key perhaps. #CitiCBS @NAkufoAddo @CheEsquire
Chapter 6- Article 35(7) states;

"As far as practicable, a government shall continue and execute projects and programs commenced by the previous Government"
Is Nana debunking the same constitution that brought him to power?

After almost four years in office , you don’t have one single CHPs compound to show . The hospitals your predecessor left for you are still closed and others have been left in the bush yet Mr Akufo-Addo says he will new ones.#GhanaNeedsAnswers

New hospitals when there are others not in use? You have refused to operationalize hospitals built by your predecessor because of your selfish interest but want to build 94 hospitals in a year? Can't come to terms with this logic by @NAkufoAddo #GhanaNeedsAnswers #CitiCBS

I hear @GabbyDarko, the nephew of President Akufo Addo and the defacto Prime Minister, say that they will find the money to build the famous 88 hospitals. These guys are sending all of us into a huge debt ditch! #GhanaNeedsAnswers

Nana Addo is only best at huge promises. He doesn't fulfill them or does them with shambolic planning. 350 SHS in 18months? Have you realized how insulting this is to our intelligence as a nation? 40 months later. This is 2020, not even one school. #GhanaNeedsAnswers pic.twitter.com/OX361mjF1T

Why would anyone in her right senses think that a country that went borrowing $1billion from the @IMFNews to help its economy stay on its feet, must spend a quarter of that money compiling a new needless register? #GhanaNeedsAnswers pic.twitter.com/j7ME5XLLqr
@NAkufoAddo cares less about priorities. He's more interested in the next elections. By the way don't expect a man who has not built a single health facility in 3yrs to build 94 in 8months. Ebi scam #GhanaNeedsAnswers pic.twitter.com/lE5t9vD16S

Our leaders are always contracting loans the end result is an uncompleted project. Take a time to read the auditor general repost on various projects across GHana and you’ll weep for Ghana. Too much wastage in the system. #GhanaNeedsAnswers
