The Ministry's comment follows claims made by the minority in parliament that the government had already made use of the funds in the account before breaking grounds for the Agenda 111 project. In a press release sighted by GhanaWeb, the Finance Ministry said the US$100 million which is equivalent to GH¢600 million will be disbursed to contractors according to the project work plan. According to the Finance Ministry, only GH£36 million has been released as part of pre-construction mobilisation for the Agenda 111 project. The statement added, “The said amount had been released into the project account at the BoG but not utilised yet. Each hospital under the Agenda 111 project will cost US$16.88 million.
