$13.9 million Official Residence for Vice President – Ghana
In 2017, upon the assumption of office of Ghana’s current government, Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia, expressed shock at the amount of $13.9 million to be used in the construction of the official residence for vice presidents.
He questioned the cost being used, asking whether the doors of the apartment were going to be gold-plated, so as to merit such profligacy.
“I mean what sort of a house is this supposed to be? Is the gate made of gold? The pavement of gold? The blocks of gold? A house in Ghana for 13.9 million dollars? I could not believe it. How many boreholes could we have done…? Of course, I am 100 percent sure it did not go through competitive tender, otherwise we would have known about it. It was most likely sole-sourced, and there it stands uncompleted at the moment. This is just an example of many contracts that we do not have value for money for,” reports Ghanaweb.
