A director of estate developers, Regimanuel Gray Limited, Regina Botwe, has denied reports that the company built a house as a gift for President Mills.
The property, located near President Millsďż˝ private residence at Spintex in Accra, has generated controversy following media reports that the president is putting up a mansion, which later reports suggested it was a gift for the president from Regimanuel.
But Regina Botwe explains the structure - a three-bedroom residential quarters still under construction - is for the president�s security detail, insisting that �we have never given anything as a gift to the president�.She told Joy News� Sammy Darko that the security guards for the past two years have been living under tents on an open park with a mobile toilet. The structures, she said, caused a lot of inconveniences for residents there who complained about the hazard the makeshift structures pose to them.
She said management of the estates realised the situation was an �eyesore� and decided to put a fence wall around it.
Regina Botwe said President Mills later wrote to the company requesting that they provide him something for his guards to rent, �So the arrangement is going to be a rental�in fact it is for Regimanuel.�
She added: �And so since April we have been going up and down; then our estate management company here sat down and decided to put a quarters which can serve as boys quarters, should we decide to develop the place itself.�
Sounding very livid with the already running controversy over the property, Regina Botwe said she was �surprised� people are spending time on the subject when �there are so many important things to talk about in this country�.
She said the company will not contract loans, �pay interest and then be building houses and dash� them.
