Sickening. Even $5.9m is way too much. Apaak must be ashamed of himself. In the UK where average monthly wages is over £1,200 Proper mansions are built for less than £1m. Fools. Rise up, rise up fellow Ghanaians!

In as much as I will agree that the figure is too much, we shouldn't forget that the two countries use different materials in building houses. Ghana houses are built like industrial buildings in the US and elsewhere, which make them expensive. But 13.9 is may be 200% over pricing because the land on which the house is being built doesn't cost us no money.

4. When did Amissah-Arthur realize they were overpaying or had overpayed for the project?
5. What did Mahama and Amissah-Arthur do when they realized they had overpayed for the project? Because to stop overpayments suggests, all the professionals needed to cost such a project made their inputs considering the kind of project we are talking about-official residence of the Vice President of Ghana. This was not a mud hut in Pru or a wooden shack at Agbogbloshie. So what did Mahama and Amissah-Arthur do?
6. What does the $13.9 million dollars for that structure entail?
Indeed, there are more questions than answers and it is very important John Mahama who seemed to be very much aware of this project since he tweeted, that was where Vice Prez. Bawumia should be looking at packing himaelf, since the official Cantonments Residence for VP's had been taken over by him, as in looted. Did Mahama know it was for 13.9 million dollars when he was saying that was where Vice Prez. Bawumia should be thinking of taking up residence? Did Mahama know Amissah-Arthur had stopped overpayments with regards to that project? With John Mahama hanging on to the Vice President's residence at Cantonments, was that to say he was totally fine with the single sole-sourced project of a staggering 13.9 million dollars?
Folks, John Mahama must come clean in this 13.9 million dollars single sole-sourced overpayed project?

Let me educate u Apaak. $5.9 million dollars would open 59 separate $100000 businesses for unemployed graduates around the country. Each business could easily employ ten graduates. the businesses will grow, become profitable and employ many more jobless youth.
Best of all the loan could even be paid back eventually!!
Alas, our governments will make every possible excuse why we cannot source the funding for such laudable projects. But we can easily find $13.9 million to house just the VP.
The colossal amounts that have been mentioned for several building projects must all be vetted. Independent surveyors must be employed to recost every single construction project. I promise you there are billions of dollars to be reclaimed.

He then ran and asked for all payments to be stopped, knowing that the new Sherrif (Bawumia) will find out and drag his ass to jail. Julor!

Otiko Djaba, this is ur stone. Building a residence for vice president is costing a 3rd world country $13.9m. For what? Is that what UK, US, Germany, Spain, Canada, Australia, Sweden do with their money. When Yaa Asantewaa Otiko Djaba rise and describe such people as evil and wicked, men who are supposed to sound in thinking says - No! Yaa Asantewaa is arrogant. Building Ghana is not a private project, it a serious national agenda. NDC MPs can go and burn the sea, NPP will ensure all its minister designate are approved.
Yaa Asantewaa Otiko Djaba!!! We are behind you.

Did you tell us that it had been delayed cos of the cost involved? You fools take Ghanaians for granted and think we r not discerning enough to know what you r up to!! Why didn't you tell us that Amissah Arthur had stopped the payment cos of the cost involved and if he indeed had,why were you,the ndc saying the new official Vice Presidential residence was near completion so we should allow your thieving capo to steal the old one? The ndc is just a criminal cartel masquerading as a political party!! All of you guys should be tied to the stakes at Teshie together with JJ and executed period. You r all corrupt bar none!!

We are wasting time. Just get it investigated asap and let's get our balance back. I don't know when Nana Addo will start the Special Prosecutor job get going. I hear article 56, 57 or 58 of the constitution makes it clear that every president (Mahama) can be incriminated or charged for any offence against the state by the public within 3years of leaving office and after that, NO ONE can take him on again. No wonder Mahama is shivering to get Agyarko in trouble through Ayariga and co. so that he doesn't unravel the canker, rot and stinking deals at the energy ministry especially the oil side about how they have drained the oil revenue with mischievous, scandolous and evil deals and contracts, more so with Karpower and Ameri deals. hahahahaha!!!

If Nana and Bawumia are able to pass the Right to Information Bill, edited to make sure it is not too cumbersome to protect any crooked office holders, then there will be HOPE for Ghana!
Failing that, its going to be the same!
if 5,9 was allocated it does not mean that 13,9 cannot be sent dubiuosly
Sickening. Even $5.9m is way too much. Apaak must be ashamed of himself. In the UK where average monthly wages is over £1,200 Proper mansions are built for less than £1m. Fools. Rise up, rise up fellow Ghanaians!
he knew or should of known
HE'S TOO CORRUPT
Assuming what the NDC is saying is true $5M is equivalent to GHS20M. How can this be when a whole 2000 capacity complex fitted with chairs and metal books shelves costs GHS7M.
How many Asamoah Gyan mansions can this amount build?
Mr Bawumia should stop giving another empty lecture. We dont need that. We need arrests, prosecutions, and sentencing to Nsawan. Until criminals are punished, no amount of lecture can save Ghana.
The Obamas were considering buying a sophisticated 9-bedroom retirement house in affluent Washington DC suburb for $5.3mill. You guys see what is wrong with Ghana and John Mahama???

Even the 5.9 for a house in Ghana is too much,what kind of a house is it to cost that much,not even cedis,dollars, what kind of material are they using to cost that much?
It was well over priced even for that 5.9.
Regardless of quality, building a home cost more in the US. Cost of land, labor, permits, taxes and everything is more expensive in the US than Ghana. Yes, poor quality materials but it is more expensive than in Ghana.
But you also have to factor in labor cost my dear brother. it is cheaper in Ghana than in the united States of America.

And 70 million for Ghana@50 is less? Bawumia is mischievous and a liar
The 70 million was spread throughout the whole Ghana. You can see at least one project in every region for that...
Where is Amissah himself? He needs to speak up. There should be a trail of the transaction somewhere. Government employees ought to start talking and exposing the rot. This is how as a nation we keep our politicians straight.
We need to know who is the contractor so that he could be arrested and charged for conniving with politicians to steal public funds. Ghana will never prosper if these thieves are not in jail.
5.9 million dollars is crazy for a house

I can build 20 modern mansions in Ghana with 5.9m USD, at 295,000 USD per mansion. With a little bit of cost management, there will even be spare money for lavish house-warming parties. The absurd inflation of public expendi ...

And I can build same with 20,000 US dollars so will that mean you are a thief? Reason up, use your brain, all buildings quality are not the same
Thieves defending the indefensible. God help Oman Ghana.
GHANA, Criminals and hopeless idiots like you are the reason why Ghana is not develop. Alimo is right but criminals souls like you dont waste time to defend NDC criminals. Go live your life as a thief.
You can build at $20000 but it won't be a mansion.
Bawumia is still on point though cos here is the case the house still not completed so how much is it going to cost in totality? God help mother ghana
Bawumia never said NDC had paid $13.9m for the house!
He stated "....the house is supposed to cost $13.9m."!
These NDC goons can't read and they can't think far!!

Even $5.9 is a lot of money for that building or house.
I agree my brother. How much did Asamoah Gyan build his house on the hill overlooking the Weija lagoon?
So much with sole sourcing.
So what could Dr Mahamadu Bawumia be up to?
Could he really still be in the campaign mood?
I really can't easily let go of the Bawumia allegation that the Voters' Register had 76,000 foreigners in Volta Region.

5.9 million dollar accommodation. Very uneconomical and outrageous . Go to East legon and other places in Ghana where very durable and magnificent mansions have been constructed for just 1 million cerise if not less.

Final amount will be 13.9m but 5.9m so far paid. Fine. Though all 13.9m not paid it will be paid so therefore agree with Bawuah's that cost is 13.9m which is too much
For a Dusty Stinking City like Accra, with no good drinking water in most part of the City and very poor Sanitation with very poorly paid Police Officers and Mahama and NDC got the nerves to dish out ($14mil) to build this S ...

The Flagstaff house is not "a presidential palace". It is primarily the seat of government and houses the Executive Branch of government, including the residence of the President. Please compare comparables!
If looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it is a duck! If the commenter sounds brain dead then s/he is NDC!
The flagstaff house is not just a residential building... It's a huge office complex with the residence of the president at the back, on the same compound... You can't compare an office with hundreds of workers to a single ho ...

I wonder why Nana Addo is not talking at all.I guess we have to be patient! These NDC crooks should all go to jail....No pardon this time
I thought the opposition was going to deny it all! $5 million to build a house for a vice President? Why do we have to build a house for anyone in the first place? We have acted so irresponsibly in the past!
Even the $5.9 million dollars was bloody hell much for the taxpayer.
Please google what a $5.9 milllion house looks like in Florida or North Carolina? Then you decide for your self back ward people with small brains .
Mahama's target was $13.9 million to his bother, Ibrahim, until his vice saw it and stopped payment, period! By, the was, how much was paid before payment was stopped? Who was the contractor?
Even 5.9 million US $ is too much for a house for the vice president when Ghana can not pay our loan interest.
Granted. The former VP stopped further payments. The question is: how did the S13.9m come about? The NDC should just watch and see how good governance is all about.
How are my people of Zango Kataf. My greetings to all of them. Ghana politics is very huhuduos.

Mr.Apaak even the $5.9 million house is very very expensive knowing well that there are a lot of unemployment and workers who were not receiving their pay for months and years.
The VP said it's going to COST $13.9m. He did not say the 13.9m has been PAID . Please folks note the difference.
Dr Apaak should be ashamed, if ammissah stopped the payment of $13 million, then,it is true that the house was billed $13 million in the first place . who gave the contract under mahama's watch should be the question?
Even $1million is too much for a country trotting around the world for budgetary support.We are not a serious nation.
The lying toad that Apaak is. Who approved the amount of $13.9m in the first place ?
Why is Mahama still in the Cantonments Residence?
A new impetus is needed to restore responsibility to the governance of this country and it must happen now!!!
This is the reason only 47 of the E Blocks were built. If the NDC were serious about infrastructural more schools could have been built, projects completed and better life for Ghanaians. So sad for Mother Ghana. Forensic aud ...

Is 5.9 a small figure? Granting your figure to be true. How much did Asamoah Gyan even built is plush house? Oh Mother Ghana weep no more
In the first place why building new house for the Vice President when there's one for already blame this on dead goat President John Ford Drama Mahama and his incompetent ndc administration apuuuu
Ghanaians must petition the UN Secretary General to terminate Mahama's appointment. He does not have what it takes to have the job. He is very corrupt
What is the different
He was blind to enomous mismanagement during Mahama's got. He was always in support of Mahama's NDC.
I think he wants a new position from this NPP got that's why is he putting a blame of overspending on contractors.
