Executive Director of Danquah Institute, Richard Ahiagbah has described Ex-President John Dramani Mahama’s Big Push promise as another “10 billion-dollar scam”.
According to him, former President Mahama is known for leading projects that promise so much but deliver nothing.
In an interaction with the media on Wednesday, November 25, 2020, Mr. Ahiagbah listed some infamous projects started under the erstwhile Mahama administration.
“…Prominent among them was the 10-billion-dollar Hope City project that promised 50,000 jobs while housing 25,000 people in what was supposed to be Africa’s tallest building. The infamous STX Korean housing deal, another 10-billion-dollar housing arrangement, which was negotiated by former President Mahama and promised to build some 200,000 affordable units, was abrogated by the late President Mills upon the realization that it was badly negotiated.
He was with the opined that Mahama and the NDC’s ‘Big Push’ infrastructural drive is another 10-billion-dollar initiative intended to create jobs whiles addressing the country’s infrastructural needs adding “Like the Hope City project and the STX housing deal, ‘The Big Push’ lacks a clear blueprint and a comprehensive funding arrangement to authenticate its feasibility. It should, therefore, be regarded as another of Mahama’s 10 billion projects.”
