I’ve spent state funds prudently – Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has said his government has spent state funds meant for the development of the country judiciously to improve the lives of citizens.

According to him, there are several projects including road construction, and others in the education, health, water and electricity sectors of the economy that had been undertaken by his government and are impacting lives positively.

President Mahama also said the revival of some defunct industries established by the erstwhile CPP government, such as the Kumasi Shoe Factory and the Komenda Sugar Factory, which he said would create jobs for the youth and promote economic growth.

Addressing the Ghanaian community in the United Kingdom in London, the President said although there have been some challenges that confronted the economy, significant progress has been made.

He has, therefore, called on Ghanaians living in the Diaspora to reject the negative stories spread by the government’s critics, adding that given the economic indicators, the future looked bright.
