The Mim Development Foundation, a youth group at Mim in the Ahafo Region, which seeks to champion the developmental needs and welfare of residents of Mim, has reminded the government to deliver on the promises made to them.
They want their fair share of the national cake as promised in his electioneering tour towards the 2020 General Elections.
Mr. Peter Amoley, leader of the Foundation, at press conference at Mim, stated emphatically that the President openly promised to establish a university at Mim, upon which the Omanhene of the town made land available for the project.
According to him, five years on, nothing had been done on the said land in the face of rumours that the proposed university had been relocated to a different town.
He stated that the President again promised them district status for Mim, a modern market, and an Astro Turf, but none of these had been fulfilled over the five-year period the government had been in office.
Mr. Amoley also expressed worry over the abandoned major roads projects from Mim to Sunyani, Mim to Kasapim and Ntensere, which were started around the 2020 General Elections, but unfortunately been abandoned after the elections.
He lamented that the electorate at Mim received less in return for the massive votes for the ruling party during elections, and wondered why their votes were not reflecting infrastructural development.
Mr. Amoley noted that Mim was the second largest town in the Ahafo Region, yet could not boast of any major and befitting infrastructural development to improve the living standards of the people.
The youth leader, therefore, called on the President and the government to fulfill the 2020 campaign promises, else they would be compelled to stage a massive demonstration against the government, adding that they would advise themselves at the next elections because they could not afford to be taken for granted all the time.
