Abandoned Saglemi Housing Project

 John Dramani Mahama Writes;

In a Facebook post by former president of Ghana John Dramani Mahama, he alleges government have abandoned saglemi housing project simply because it was initiated by himself and the NDC administration. He wrote;

 “It is unacceptable for Akufo-Addo to spend over half a billion cedis on a national cathedral project that has ultimately failed due to corruption and is now abandoned yet refuses to commit funds to complete a housing project that will benefit thousands of Ghanaian families. 

Knowing the NPP government, they did not want to complete the Saglemi housing project simply because it was initiated by John Mahama and an NDC administration. Leaders must always priorities the well-being of their citizens and ensure that they benefit from government resources and projects, regardless of who initiated them’’

‘’ The misplaced priorities of a government that claims it is unable to raise money to complete the Saglemi housing project and yet is willing to spend half a billion cedis on the largest civil excavation in Africa is a humiliating slap in the face of Ghanaians who entrusted Akuffo Addo with their mandate’’. Just think about the countless number of Ghanaian families who could have had decent living conditions over the past 7 years and the individuals who could have had a place to truly call home in Saglemi.

The former president ‘s statement comes after President Akuffo - Addo on august 1st ,2023 held a sod cutting ceremony to kick start a construction of a 8,000 units of affordable houses with support from the private sector.
