Gov't To Roll Out "1-District, 1-Affordable Housing" Project

Government will soon introduce a "1 District, 1 Affordable Housing" project, a leading member of the ruling party has disclosed.

According to Hon. Ayeh-Paye, Chairman of the Roads and Transport Committee of Parliament, the Ministry of Works and Housing is already acquiring funding to begin the project.

Contributing to a panel discussion on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' Morning Show, he stated that the project has become necessary after the Ministry discovered that several Ghanaians lack proper shelter.

The housing project is to rectify the problem and ensure that the Ghanaian citizenry get affordable places for shelter.

Hon. Ayeh-Paye stressed that the government is fully ready to roll out the initiative, though it sounds ridiculous and almost impossible as some critics may think.

“We’re about to build affordable housing in every district capital", he insisted.

However, host of Kokrokoo, Kwami Sefa Kayi has cast doubts over the promise by the Committee Chairman saying "it is not possible".

He asked Hon. Ayeh-Paye and the NPP government to cease bandying about slogans and touting initiatives that are not likely to see the light of day.

He urged him and the ruling party to "learn a lesson from the NDC" who were voted out of power barely two years ago for mostly reneging on their word.
