  • Osofo 10 years ago

    What did Ghana get out of the project and how much money was spent?

  • Pelicles 10 years ago

    Government sank 48 million cedis into the two projects but with little to show for. NDC with the blessing of Mahama put that money aside for the next campaign.

  • Boateng 10 years ago

    Pelicles,to be sure, we are reading here that the project started in 2009. How was the money put aside with the help of John Mahama? Hopefully the trial will show that.
