It’s a misplaced priority to fund the National Cathedral and neglect Saglemi housing project – Mahama

Former President John Mahama has criticized President Akufo-Addo for having a misguided focus in spending enormous sums of Ghanaian cedis on the National Cathedral’s development while ignoring the Saglemi Housing Project.

This follows President Akufo-Addo’s directive to the Ghana Police Service’s Criminal Investigation Department to look into the criminal court cases involving the Saglemi Housing project, which was initiated by the previous John Mahama administration.

However, the former President claimed in a Facebook post that if President Akufo-Addo had finished the Saglemi Housing project, numerous Ghanaian families would have had good housing.

“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.

“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 Akufo Addo with their mandate.
