A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has stated that an NDC government would not have built the plush Golden Jubilee House, the new seat of government.
Mahama Ayariga who has been appointed the spokesperson of the incoming President, John Evans Atta Mills, made the remark in a radio interview in Kumasi on Tuesday.
Mr. Ayariga insisted that the NDC has not changed its earlier position on the building of the edifice, saying “NDC still stands by its disapproval about the building of the Golden Jubilee House”.
He contended that an NDC government would have used the huge sum of money used for the construction of the building for developmental projects across the country to the benefit of the masses.
Building of hospitals and expansion of universities to accommodate more students, he indicated, would have been some of the projects an NDC government would have used the money to embark on.
He answered in the affirmative when asked whether Prof. Atta Mills would occupy the Golden Jubilee House after he is sworn in today Wednesday January 7 as the next president of Ghana. The former Bawku Central Member of Parliament explained that “they have built it for the state and we cannot allow it to go waste so we would inhabit it”.
He promised an open door policy when it comes to dealing with the press and called on the media to collaborate with him as he prepares to serve the country.
