I’ll Bow Down My Head In Shame If Agenda 111 Is Not Completed By 2024 - NPP Communicator
A member of the Communication team of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Kwadwo Agyei Yeboah (Nana K) is optimistic that the Agenda 111 project will be completed within the stipulated time given.
Agenda 111; a health project aimed at building 111 district and Regional hospitals across the country is expected to be completed in 18 months.
''So far sites have been identified for 88 of the 111 hospitals, and after cutting the sod, work on the other 87 sites will also commence today [Tuesday]. The acquisition of the remaining 13 sites will be completed shortly for work to begin. Each hospital is being constructed at a cost of $16.88 million, i.e. $12.88 million for construction and $4 million for medical equipment, and all the hospitals are to be completed in 18 months and works will begin on the regional and other hospitals in the latter part of the year,” President Akufo-Addo said during a sod-cutting ceremony for the project to commence in the Ashanti Region on Tuesday, August 17.
However, some communicators of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) have described the project as '419'
Others claim the time frame given to complete the hospitals is over-ambitious and not feasible.
However, Nana K believes it can be done.
Speaking in a discussion on Neat FM's 'Me Man Nti' programme, he said: "I’ll bow down my head in shame if Agenda 111 is not completed by 2024".
