President Mahama has been slammed by the Minority in Parliament for failing to acknowledge the progress made in Ghana’s housing sector under the previous administration.
“The President conveniently omitted from his address the strides made in the housing sector under the immediate past administration.
“This included the completion of some of the stalled projects inherited in 2017, like the Asokore Mampong housing project, resumption of works on the Adenta SHC estates, and the selection of the private partner to commence work on the completion of the Saglemi project,” the Minority stated while presenting their version of the State of the Nation Address.
They further highlighted that under the previous government, significant milestones were achieved, including the delivery of 1,000 homes to security services, another 1,000 by the TDC, and nearly 1,000 more by the State Housing Company.
In addition, the National Homeownership Fund was introduced, which has so far facilitated the acquisition of 500 homes.
“The President failed to mention that the Ministry of Finance gave approval for GIIF to set up a GIIF Housing sub-fund to receive funding for bankable housing projects, while the Ministry of Housing rolled out a PPP framework to stimulate housing.
These strides made in the housing sector marked an unprecedented change in the approach to resolving the housing deficit in Ghana,” the Minority Caucus stressed.
