The housing project was initiated on a 50-acre land in 2006, but construction work on the about 800 flats of one, two and three bedrooms stalled in 2009.<br \/>\nAccording to the\u00a0<strong>Ghanaian Times<\/strong> newspaper, the squatters have occupied portions of the uncompleted buildings after the various contractors abandoned work for non-payment of jobs done. Early settlers have also turned themselves into landlords charging new comers between GH\u00a215 and GH\u00a220 for single room and GH\u00a2100 for two and three bedroom apartment with hall toilet, bath and kitchen.<br \/>\nSpeaking on\u00a0<strong>Metro TV\u2019s Good Morning Ghana<\/strong> show, Dr. Omane Boamah castigated the NPP for the &#8216;careless&#8217; way they handled the AHP.<br \/>\n\u201cIf the NPP had fulfilled their manifesto promise of replacing slums with vertical buildings and providing affordable housing units within their 8 years in power, things would have been different\u2026if they assess their eight years in government\u2026when it comes to housing, it was a failure,\u201d he noted.<br \/>\nHe said the NPP should have cut its coat according to their size by focusing on the number of housing units they had available funds for, rather than make projections they knew, they could not possibly finish. He, however, gave the assurance that the NDC will raise funds to complete the housing projects that the NPP abandoned, adding they will be waiting patiently for the NPP to come and sing their usual chorus of \u2018we started it\u2019 when the NDC government completes such projects.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are continuing and we are sourcing funds to ensure the completion of the projects they abandoned but my advice for all governments is that, we should bite what we can chew. If you have $30 million, why don\u2019t you focus on some specific areas and complete them rather than go on a mass scale when you don\u2019t have the resources. At least if they had completed 2000 housing unit, we could have accommodated some 2000 households,\u201d he lamented.<br \/>\nHe advised the NPP acquaint themselves properly with their (NPP) own manifesto and critically assess their performance during the Kufuor administration before commenting on the STX Housing Project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deputy Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, Dr. Omane-Boamah, has pooh-poohed ex-president Kufuor\u2019s stewardship particularly the construction of residential facilities under the Affordable Housing Project (AHP) claiming the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) could not even provide a single housing unit to accommodate just one legitimate tenant.
