The Head of Policy Monitoring and Evaluation Unit at the Presidency has justified his calls for the Mills administration to abandon some projects started by the Kufuor administration.
Dr. Tony Aidoo first made the suggestion following reports that an abandoned affordable housing project at Asokore-Mampong in the Ashanti Region has been taken over by squatters.
Government says it has started the process to secure about a hundred million Ghana cedis needed to complete the project.
“The projects were ill-conceived, and therefore the cost of executing these projects is not in our budget, nor do they fit into our scheme of things so far as our electoral promises are concerned," Dr Tony Aidoo told Joy News.
He says continuing such projects started by the previous administration is making it difficult to fulfill some campaign promises of the Mills administration.
“On the other hand, we also have our electoral promises to the people of this country to fulfill...Sadly the resources earmarked to fulfill our electoral promises are the one we are using to complete haphazardly-thought of projects that were not properly design.”
Dr. Tony Aidoo says his suggestion is also based on criticisms by the opposition NPP that the Mills administration lacks creativity to initiate its own projects.
