The Ghanaian government has taken a significant step towards completing the long-delayed Military Hospital project in Kumasi. Following a visit to the project site and a meeting with Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the government reaffirmed its commitment to completing the project by September this year.
A meeting was held at the Ministry of Defence with Messrs Euroget De-Invest, the company responsible for the project, to address the bottlenecks that have caused delays for over six years. The project was initially expected to be completed by 2018, but the previous administration failed to deliver.
To get the project back on track, the government has demanded that Euroget submit their financial, legal, and technical issues by the end of the day, allowing the government to scrutinize and contest them if necessary. This move aims to ensure cost-effective and lawful decisions are made to complete the project.
The government, led by President John Dramani Mahama, is committed to protecting the public purse while completing the Military Hospital project. This initiative is part of the government’s efforts to reset Ghana and promote development.
