The Committee on Works and Housing, led by Hon. Vincent Asamoah, has visited several affordable housing projects in Accra to monitor their progress and challenges. The projects visited include the Pokuase Affordable Housing Project, Surge Homes at Amranhia, and Executive Homes at Adenta.
The Pokuase project, being developed by the State Housing Company, has stalled due to lack of funding, with work less than 20% complete. The site has also been used as a waste disposal site. In contrast, the Surge Homes project at Amranhia has relatively better infrastructure, with 154 units about 80% complete.
All three projects face challenges, including poor road networks and inadequate funding. The Committee’s Chairman expressed concern over the slow pace of development at Pokuase and Adenta but was impressed with the progress at Amranhia. He assured that the government will play its part to complete the projects by the end of the year.
