Some former government officials of the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC) are to be arraigned before court in the coming days for allegedly misappropriating state funds meant for the Saglami Housing project.
This was disclosed by Minister for Works and Housing, Mr Samuel Atta Akyea on the floor of parliament on Thursday, June 4, 2020.
Mr Atta Akyea appeared before parliament to answer questions about the state of the housing project.
According to the minister, despite the state paying more than 90 per cent of the contract sum, it was shocking to note that the contract was varied to a 1,000 housing units from the original 5,000 housing units at the original contract sum.
