General News of Saturday, 13 October 2018Source: classfmonline.comSaglemi project: Atta Akyea doing propaganda – AhiFormer Minister for Works and Housing, Samson Ahi and his successor Samuel Atta AkyeaA former Deputy Minister of Works and Housing, Samson Ahi, has said the Minister of Works and Housing, Samuel Atta Akyea, is engaging in needless falsehood concerning the $200 million Saglemi Housing Project. Mr Akyea said: “I can assure you that there is a challenge in terms of how the monies were applied to the project” – matters that he believes the Attorney-General and EOCO “should investigate”. According to Mr Akyea, until basic utilities are provided, the completed units cannot be occupied and put to use. Mr Akyea was of the opinion that the government will need to get “credible people to complete the structures and then when we have amenities like water, electricity and sewage systems, people could go over there”. However, Mr Ahi insists that the Mahama administration completed 1,024 of the 5,000 low-cost houses contrary to claims by the Housing Ministry that only 442 have been completed.
