A seasoned broadcasting female journalist of Angel Broadcasting Network (ABN), Nana Yaa Brefo, has taken a swipe at the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for taking decision to sell the rotting Saglemi Housing Project in Ningo-Prampram District of the Greater Accra Region to private developer without the consents and knowledge of Ghanaians.
According to the Host of Anopa Bofo Morning Show on Angel TV, Nana Yaa Brefo said he could not fathom why the government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by President Akufo-Addo would wait for the abandoned the project to rot before taken the current decision to sell out it to the private developer.
She pointed out that President Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his ruling NPP government thought that the 2024 general elections would not be in their favour, saying that the decision of the current government to sell the project to the private developer is amount to fraud and corruption.
Fearing for them to loss the 2024 general elections, according to the Angel TV presenter, has informed the current decision of President Akufo-Addo and his NPP government to hurriedly sell out the project to the private developer which has involved the sum cost of US$ 200,000,000 dollar (GH¢2,890, 408,000.00), ostensibly to take their hands from it.
Nana Yaa Brefo indicated that the building of the Saglemi Housing Project for which the central government has secured a foreign loan to build affordable houses for her people at home clearly shows that the housing is not affordable to argument the housing deficit in the country.
"We have overheard that the current NPP government under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has sold the already rotting project to the private developer to complete," she noted, asking that "what kind of bad things or crimes Ghanaians have committed to demand these punishments from the top officers who are in the state big positions in this country we have voted for.?
She could not understand why the government has abandoned the Saglemi Housing Project to rot before selling it to the private developer, claiming that they were probing two former Ministers of Works and Housing, Alhaji Collins Dauda and Kweku Agyeman Mensah, and three others, who have been arraigned in court over the Saglemi Affordable Housing infractions.
Alhaji Collins Dauda, together with Kweku Agyeman Mensah, Alhaji Ziblim Yakubu, Chief Director of the ministry, Andrew Clocanas, Executive Chairman of Constructura OAS Ghana Limited, and Nouvi Tetteh Angelo were charged on August 5, 202, with 52 counts, including causing financial loss to the state.
They are facing charges of intentionally misapplying public property, causing financial loss to the state, and issuing false certificates in the Saglemi Affordable Housing project, which involved the sum of US$200M.
She rethorically asked that "what have been our sins as Ghananians and that what sins have we committed to the politicians. What have been our problems for the politicians to be treating us in this ways."
She indicated that "Ghanaians have woke up in the night and queue to vote for these people to become Members of Parliament (MPs),and that these persons were appointed Ministers of the state who would rather come to take us for granted or lord over us."
She was of the view that "when these people becomes an MP then he/she would becomes rich person to be engaging all sort criminal activities at the expenses of Ghananians."
"My argument was that if the current government knows that it can sell the project to be good why is it that it wait for the project to rot. The current government claimed to Ghananians that it has been conducting investigations into the infraction in the project.
"What are the outcomes of their investigations and what does the investigations they had wasted the tax payers money to do. What does such investigations brought to us as a nation.? How much do we get from the so-called investigations on the project. And now they wake-up to take the decision that they are coming to sell the project to the private developer which has involved the sum of US$200M to private developer," she stated.
She continued that the current government has secured loans to construct the project which the NPP government has sold to the private developer at the cheap price.
