The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has criticised the government's Agenda 111 project.

He stressed that the construction of over 80 hospitals simultaneously without a clear and sustainable source of funding is unreasonable.

Mr Mahama expressed his reservations during a dialogue with clergy members in Accra, stressing that the government's agenda appears unrealistic and may not be achieved within a reasonable timeframe.

He, therefore, proposed an alternative approach, suggesting that it would have been more sensible to begin with a smaller number, such as 40 hospitals, ensuring their completion before initiating further projects.

“This government started their Agenda 111 as they call it and they started with 80 hospitals. I don’t know what survey was done before the hospitals were being put up, but most of them are at a certain stage of completion. One would have thought that they would start with what they can do and finish.

“And so if you can do 40 hospitals, finish and open them, then you start another. But you spread to 80 hospitals, and by the time they leave office, I don’t think many of them would have been completed," he said.
