Captain Smart petitions President Mahama over Mumford Fishing Harbour project | Discuss Ghana

True to his word, the veteran broadcaster is taking his commitment to the Central Region to the absolute next level. Fierce broadcast journalist and host of Onua Maakye, Blessed Godsbrain Smart (Captain Smart), has officially signed and submitted a formal petition to President John Dramani Mahama, calling for the immediate prioritization and continuation of the Mumford Fishing Harbour project in the Gomoa West constituency. The petition, heavily backed by local fishermen, chief fishermen, and traditional authorities within the Gomoa West district, demands that the government aggressively invest in the coastal town’s maritime infrastructure to safeguard the livelihoods of thousands of fishing families.

The $5 Million Mumford Development Blueprint

The petition is part of a larger, highly publicized developmental agenda that Captain Smart has been pushing for the area, heavily aligning with his recent entry into active politics:

Reviving Stalled Infrastructure: The Mumford landing beach and harbor infrastructure has faced historic delays across multiple administrations. The petition urges President Mahama to include the project under the government’s current infrastructural restructuring framework, noting that a modern harbor would radically minimize post-harvest losses for local fishermen.

The Personal Commitment: The petition comes just weeks after Captain Smart revealed on Onua TV that he has put together a comprehensive $5 million private and public partnership development plan specifically designed to transform the economic landscape of Mumford and the broader Gomoa West constituency.

Pressure on the Executive: By personally drafting and signing this petition directly to the presidency, the vocal journalist is using his immense media leverage to ensure the coastal communities of the Central Region are not left out of the administration's nationwide development plans.
