NDC MPs both at the Foreign Affairs Committee & at plenary last night have effectively scuttled government’s 2023 plans to demolish the Accra International Conference Centre & construct a new one at a staggering €116million (GHS1.3billion).
We also successfully blocked proposals to open new Ghanaian embassies in Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago & Mexico.
Government cannot be defaulting on its loan obligations & imposing crude haircuts, particularly on pensions for the vulnerable aged & still be pursuing fanciful projects which can be deferred to better economic times in the future.

The President’s personal promise to God to build Him (God) a Cathedral has already translates into wasteful spending of scare resources of the state on a promise made by a sole person.
There are already cases in court against the country by aggrieved individuals as a result of the demolition of several buildings at the current location of the defunct National Cathedral.
