Deputy Minister of Finance, Seth Terkper says he is disappointed at the recent turn of events regarding the STX Housing project.
He adds to a growing number of NDC members who are worried it is taking too long for the project to take off.
Mr. Terkper who was speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, however says it will be unfair for the government to be vilified because of STX.
He said the government had successfully implemented some projects and that if STX was facing some challenges that could not be used to pass a judgement on the performance of the government.
Mr. Terkper would not comment on how the boardroom wrangling between Ghanaian managers of the STX construction firm and their Korean partners would affect the original agreement approved by Parliament.
NDC MP for Adenta, Kojo Adu Asare, has already called for government to abrogate the controversial housing agreement.
He said this should stave off further embarrassment for the government before the 2012 elections.
The project aims to build 30,000 housing units for security personnel at a cost of 1.5 billion dollars.
