Daily  Guide sources at the Ministry of Water Resources, Works and Housing  claimed that the deputy Minister drew petrol and heavy per diem for her  weekly trips to the constituency to further her parliamentary ambition.<br \/>\nA  middle-aged woman who lives in the area said she was surprised at the  speed with which work was progressing on the twin-mansion because the  project started somewhere last year and it was almost complete.<br \/>\nResidents  in the area said they were more worried that President Mills\u2019 minister  did not use the services of local artisans, stressing that all the  building materials including the contactors were all brought from Accra.<br \/>\nDaily  Guide investigations further established that Dr. Bissiw was expected  last weekend to inspect the progress of work. However, a search  conducted around indicated that there were no occupants in the house  which was near completion, apart from the workers who were busily  putting finishing touches to the building.<br \/>\nThe structure is a  twin-building containing many rooms and a security post with a big  compound which is yet to be tiled. Most of the interior works including  the floor and roofing tiles have been completed. The building has a  solid fence wall with a secured black-iron gate which makes it  impossible for by-passers to have a clear view of its artistic features.<br \/>\nLast  Wednesday, Daily Searchlight alleged in a report that Dr. Hannah Bissiw  had built a multi-bedroom double mansion with blue roofing tiles,  wooden panel ceiling and tiled floor at her hometown in Techimantia.<br \/>\nThe  paper further alleged the \u201cfirst coat\u201d painted building, sited on a  two-plot land, is fully walled and tightly secured by a nicely designed  iron gate, stressing that though the building was situated on the  outskirts of Techimantia, the Deputy Minister was also alleged to have  connected a pipe-borne water to her mansion from a distance of about 500  meters.<br \/>\nThe paper alleged that the Youth Organiser of the  National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Tano South Constituency, who  also acted as the Personal Assistant of the Deputy Minister whenever she  visited her hometown, was the one supervising the project which began  in July 2010.<br \/>\nHowever, Dr. Hannah Bissiw has flatly denied  building a twin-mansion in Techimantia. She described the Daily  Searchlight publication as a pack of lies cooked up by the paper\u2019s  Managing Editor, Ken Kurankye, to soil her name and cow her into  silence.<br \/>\nDr. Bissiw, who is reported by the same newspaper to  have said that she had no explanation to offer to Ghanaians, told Citi  FM that the publication was part of a grand and concerted conspiracy  being waged against her by pro-opposition journalists and newspapers.  \u201cThey should come and show me the two storey-buildings and I will take  one of them and give one of them out because I will not need two  storey-buildings in the same place. And may be those who build houses  should let us know whether from July one can build two-storey buildings.  She said.<br \/>\nShe said her secretary received a call from a Daily  Searchlight reporter who wanted to know what stage her building project  had reached. But she said her secretary did not cooperate because she  could not cross-check the identity of the caller. \u201cThen the next day I  heard this story that I had grabbed two mansions in my hometown.<br \/>\n\u201cPeople like Ken Kurankye and his cahoots sell me.<br \/>\nThey  sell lies, they breath and live, taste and walk lies so that\u2019s what  they live on. May be if he had not written that story, he couldn\u2019t have  sold his newspaper that day. So I am glad that Hannah Bissiw can feed  him and his cahoots as well as that reporter who did it. I have received  so many calls from my hometown and they are saying that the person  should come and show them the house because some of them are interested  in living in storey-buildings,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The much-talked-about controversial mansion allegedly being put up by Deputy Minister of Water Resource, Works and Housing, Dr. Hannah Louisa Bissiw at her Techimantia hometown in the Tano South District of the Brong Ahafo Region, continues to attract public interest.
