Former Member of Parliament for Bantama Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Dr. Henry Kwabena Kokofu has called on the Minister for Works and Housing, Samuel Atta Kyea to proceed in a speedy approach in filing a court case concerning the Saglemi housing project commenced under former President John Mahama’s administration.
He said the early prosecution of the case in court will keep some prominent persons of the past government silent.
In an interview on UTV’s ‘Adekye Nsroma’ panel discussion, Dr. Kwabena Kokofu indicated he is very glad that the Attorney General has already confirmed there is enough evidence to take legal action on the case, but believes there has been a delay because concrete evidence was still being put together.
“Minister for Works and Housing should make sure the Saglemi housing case goes to court soon to keep the mouths of people in the past government shut in this country,” he said.
All persons and entities involved in the botched Saglemi housing deal will soon be called out to answer questions on allegations of causing financial loss to the state.
This is according to Works and Housing Minister, Samuel Atta Akyea.
The latest indication follows the receipt of the Attorney General’s legal opinion regarding the $200 million housing deal executed under the Mahama Administration.
The project has stalled over allegations that the country was shortchanged with the provision of less than 1,500 housing units as against the initial agreement of 5000 housing units.

THE CORRUPT PRACTICE CASES SHOULD BE OPEN VERY SOON TO KEEP THE MOUTHS OF THE BIG WINGS OF THE ERSTWHILE JOHN MAHAMA ADMINISTRATION SHUT
very nice project but full of dubious and cr1minally laced contract by john mahama and co, never again are we going to allow these ndc cr1minals any where near political power. and to attah akyea stop the talking and complete all the flat that has been abandoned over the years
They are all the same
NPP won the election with fighting corruption yet not a single person has been indicted, prosecuted and jailed. NPP is a big failure.
So the flats ex President Kuffour left behind on Koforidua-Suhum road is not completed so the minister is not performing? Do you know the number of uncompleted flats in the country? Its all about money and time Its been only 2 years so chill.
Hon. Atta Akyea , as you continue to be hailed as Hournourable and a Minister of State, your utterances should be measured. Yes I am an NPP supporter but let me be frank with you. You are the most glaring of the Ministerial gang who is not performing. Every time as I move from Koforidua towards my village near Suhum I feel sad that you have not been able to complete the flats ex President Kuffour left behind on the Koforidua - Suhum road. Maybe you should have better been posted to Attorney Generals department as that would have been better for you. Your law is not correlating at the Works ad Housing ministry. Please kindly let somebody help you.
