In a candid interview on Info Radio in Wa, Alhaji Issahaku Tahiru Moomin, the immediate past Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Wa under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration, shared reflections on his tenure and offered pointed commentary on Ghana’s current political landscape.

Alhaji Moomin highlighted several key infrastructural projects initiated during his time in office, including:

• Construction of a storey buildings within the Wa market, aimed at boosting commercial activity and improving trader conditions.
• Market incentives designed to support local vendors and enhance economic participation.
• Road infrastructure, notably the new stretch linking Kambali to Lowcost, which he described as a strategic connector for residents and businesses in the municipality.

These projects, he emphasized, were part of a broader vision to modernize Wa and improve livelihoods through targeted development.

In the latter part of the interview, Alhaji Moomin turned his attention to the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, which has been in office for seven months. He expressed concern over what he perceives as a lack of visible development initiatives.

“If not for the goodwill Ghanaians continue to extend to the NDC, there would have been louder public outcry,” he stated. “Seven good months in office, and not even a borehole or basic incentive can be pointed to.”

His remarks have sparked conversations across Wa and beyond, with some residents echoing his sentiments while others call for patience and broader context in evaluating government performance.

While the interview stirred political debate, many listeners appreciated the former MCE’s transparency and his continued engagement with the community. Some traders in the Wa market acknowledged the impact of the infrastructure projects, while others urged current leaders to build on the foundation laid.

As Ghana navigates its political and developmental journey, voices like Alhaji Moomin’s continue to shape public discourse—reminding citizens and leaders alike of the importance of accountability, continuity, and community-centered governance.
