Former President John Dramani Mahama has accused President Akufo-Addo-led government of misusing $270 million belonging to Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF).
The former president said the money which was accrued to the GIIF originally during his tenure in office was allegedly gifted to President Akufo-Addo’s brother-law to build Pullman Hotel at the airport enclave.
According to former President Mahama, the money was set aside to settle a debt incurred by former President John Agyekum Kufuor, scheduled for payment in October 2017.
He claimed that he had left funds in the GIIF to attract investments into infrastructure, which have allegedly been redirected to support the construction of the Pullman Hotel.
Speaking to the media, Mahama stated, “He has distributed some to his brother-law which he is using to build Pullman Hotel, it’s the money I left in GIIF. Stabilization fund, I left $300 million with the aim of covering up for the economy should an unforeseen circumstance occur.”
Mr. Mahama also claimed “I left money there, so when Akufo-Addo assumed office he took that money to pay the debt. I left $270 million in Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) that was to be used as a vehicle to attract investments into infrastructure, but that money has been distributed.”
Mr. Mahama further indicated that these funds were intended to provide a financial buffer for Ghana in case unforeseen circumstances threatened the country.

Loose talk paa
Let us wait until Bawumia emerges from the Npp primary as the new leader. Bawumia is going to beat Mahama easily. All these Ndc guys calling themselves incoming ministers and deputy ministers will get the shock of their lives. How on earth would Mahama be told not to go around the audience to greet them when he comes to a Muslim festival? It has been resolved and Mahama can go around greeting the audience but it should send a message to the Ndc that one of their strongholds, the Muslim communities are leaving them to the Npp because of the next president of Ghana, digital and competent Bawumia.
Fo.oolish talk.... What do you mean by you left the money? Is the money for you? or is for your father? The money NDC govt left is for Ghanaians. How much did Prof Mills left for you? Corrupt Airbus bribe taker. Shame on you.
