According to the parliamentary minority, one of the main causes of the nation’s economic problems is the ongoing funding of failed projects.
According to the group, work has not yet started on the majority of the health facilities, even though the government has allocated nearly $20 million to contractors for its Agenda 111 projects.
During a visit to the proposed site for the construction of a hospital for the Adeiso community in the Upper West Akyim District of the Eastern Region, the Ranking Member of the Health Committee of Parliament, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh said “all that the government does is to go around pushing money on starting new projects to score political points. It has not even shown commitment to completing the project.”
“The disbursed funds for the facilities could have helped shore up the country’s forex reserve.”
Former President John Mahama has charged the Akufo-Addo administration with abandoning numerous projects that were initiated during his government on numerous occasions.
Since his administration left office in January 2017, a number of the projects have not been finished, which the former president stated is disheartening.
In response to these worries, the government stated that it is working to complete several projects.
