We have spent only GHC36 million at pre-construction stage of Agenda 111

The Ministry of Finance has rubbished claims by the Minority that the government had already spent Ghc600 million on the yet to be constructed agenda 111 district hospital.

The Minority’s spokesperson on Finance Cassiel Ato Forson had claimed that Appendix 4D of the 2021 Mid year review, the Akuffo Addo Goverment had already spent GHC 600 million in the year 2020 on Agenda 111.

He said the amount was spent even before they cut sod for its commencement of the project.
