To create chop chop for yourselves....The loan was not approved when the finance minister Seth Tekper started building his own pension package hostels all around the place....So for NDC all projects have to benefit the ministers... Anyone who doubts could send journalists to the place or yet still propose maintaining the project but changing the current site and see how the Tekper guys will come out crying...JM knows what he is doing
If not for PROPAGANDA then what? For a whole university to start from the scratch you are using how much 45m what? How much did you use for the Kumasi airport lights? ABEN BEBOM!
