PHOTOS: Proposed Vice-Presidential Villa abandoned for 13 years after over $2.4m spent
Behind a high wall in Cantonments, one of Accra’s most expensive neighbourhoods, three unfinished structures stand among overgrown weeds.
In the affluent Cantonments area of Accra, Ghana, unfinished structures stand amidst a landscape of overgrown weeds. Originally intended as the official residence for Ghana's Vice-President, the project has remained idle for a staggering 13 years since construction commenced. Documents revealed by The Fourth Estate shed light on the financial aspects of this abandoned endeavor, though discrepancies abound.
Mahama's inaugural government disbursed over $2.4 million to the contractor within just five months of work initiation. However, conflicting accounts have since surfaced, with the cost ranging from $3.56 million to nearly $14 million. The protracted delay has left taxpayers perplexed about the expenditure, the project's stagnation, and whether the site remains viable for its intended purpose.
