It got very hot when Ruthy, a famous radio personality of Nhyira 104.5FM fame, talked about how things are going in Kumasi, which is the capital of the Ashanti Region.
In a brave statement on the Entertainment Power show, Ruthy said that Kumasi has been used by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as a “Voting World Bank” since 2008, with no big changes taking place there.
People in the area, political experts, and other interested parties have had a lot to say about Ruthy’s statement. Even though Kumasi has always supported the NPP, she made it clear that the city hasn’t seen much progress in building, job creation, or economic growth.
She said, “The NPP has taken Kumasi for granted, using it as a voting cash cow without investing in its growth.” “The people of Kumasi need to wake up and ask their leaders for more.”
A lot of people agree with Ruthy. They think the area has been forgotten, even though it’s important to the business and politics of the country.
Some people say that Kumasi’s roads and public buildings have gotten worse and that there aren’t enough big businesses or jobs in the area.
People who back the NPP have fought back, pointing to projects like building roads and making Kumasi Airport bigger.
Some people, like Ruthy, say that these projects are not enough and have not met the region’s urgent needs.
Ruthy’s answer started a conversation that shows how important it is to keep an eye on Kumasi’s growth and make sure that leaders do what they say they will do.
The people of Kumasi want more from their leaders and need real change. This is becoming more and more clear over time.
