Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Minister for Works and Housing, has outlined the government\u2019s efforts to address Ghana\u2019s housing deficit through the construction of unit homes.<\/p>\n

In an interview on the Point of View<\/strong><\/em> on Citi TV with Bernard Avle, the former Information Minister detailed the unit homes being developed under the Affordable Housing Project.<\/p>\n

Oppong Nkrumah mentioned that they are expediting the construction of 8,000-unit homes in Pokuase and 320 homes in Tesano, specifically for security services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got 8,000 units in Pokuase that we\u2019re working on. What I have instituted is having meetings with the developers and coordinators every two weeks, and I\u2019m on site every month. I have done one site visit already, we have agreed that I will be there every month so that we can push it some more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is 8,000 of the 10,000. We\u2019re fast-tracking work on about 320 homes in Tesano designated for security services and I have given them by June for us to be able to hand it over to the security services.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MP for Ofoase-Ayirebi also reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to complete 325 homes initiated during the term of former President J.A Kufuor.<\/p>\n

\u201cKoforidua has about 325 homes from [former] President J. A Kufuor\u2019s initiative that are still outstanding and it\u2019s still there, dilapidating, we\u2019re currently going through a process with the State Housing Company. Where we can bring on board the private sector that can fund the completion of those projects. And then put them off onto the market. Just Friday, I will be in Kumasi, we just want to hand over 30 units that we just completed.\u201d<\/p>\n

He expressed his hope to establish a policy framework that will serve as a guide for future ministers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t expect to finish or build 1.8 million homes today, but my target is that we can deliver a policy framework acceptable to the cabinet and parliament so that ministers under me can then pick it and turn because the blueprint would have been laid.\u201d<\/p>\n
