According to him, contractors of the controversial affordable housing project, diverted close to US$40 million prior to commencement of the project under the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama government. “The Ghana government paid US$80 million [as a first tranche to the contractor], as required by the agreement. “So, US$40 million from the US$80 million was not used to do anything in this country, straight away moved out. “If 50% of that US$80 million was flighted out of the country, obviously it will affect the work, so that one, US$40 million… went somewhere. The Asutifi South MP is accused of making changes to the initial agreement for the housing project without seeking Parliamentary approval.
