Akufo-Addo will have trouble intervening in the new Parliament Hall – Oppong Nkrumah | Policy

Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has denied reports that President Akufo-Addo has condemned the new parliamentary chamber with a budget of $ 200 million.

The Daily Statesman had reported that the president had opposed the project.

"The president wants to ensure that the government focuses on its priority projects – roads, education and training, agriculture, rural development, water and housing. The proposal for this construction project was not even submitted to the cabinet's discussion, much less to the cabinet's approval,"the newspaper reported.

However, speaking of Peace FM & # 39; s morning broadcast "Kokrokoo", Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said that there was no information to this effect from the presidency.

"I do not believe that this will be true …. I have not seen any memoir to that effect ….. I know that the Parliament is a separate and independent governmental body, it will be difficult for the President to d & rsquo; # 39; intervene " he told Nana Yaw Kesse.
