Bawumia Commissions 1000 Houses Slams Mahamas Poor Record In Housing Sector

Vice President and NPP presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has highlighted the superior record of the current government as against the previous John Mahama regime.

Speaking at the commissioning of 1070 housing units under the Kpone Affordable Housing Project, Dr. Bawumia said the present government has demonstrated stronger commitment to addressing Ghana's housing obstacles.

"Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has made it very clear and the data is very much there if you look at what we have done...The record in the housing sector over the last 8 years is vastly superior to the record of the previous government. Just vastly, it is not even close. It is massively superior."

"TDC (Tema Development organization) didn't complete a unit when they were there. When you look at State Housing under the last government, for 8 years they only did 12 houses; just 12 houses by State Housing in 8 years", Dr. Bawumia said.

Dr. Bawumia revealed over 1000 housing units have been built by State Housing.

"We have done over a thousand houses in State Housing alone and over a thousand in TDC, so it is not even close...The comparison is not close. You are talking about elephants versus 'nkokonketenketen'."Ameyaw Adu Gyamfi/
