By The Fourth Estate
An investigation by The Fourth Estate has uncovered the prolonged abandonment of a proposed official residence for Ghana’s Vice President, with more than US$2.4 million reportedly spent on the project.
The proposed Vice President’s residence, located behind a high wall in Cantonments, Accra, has remained unfinished for about 13 years after construction began.
The project was originally intended to provide an official residence for Ghana’s Vice President. However, three unfinished structures at the site remain abandoned, raising questions about the status of the government project and the use of public funds.
The findings have renewed attention on abandoned government projects in Ghana, public expenditure and the management of state-funded infrastructure.
The prolonged delay has also triggered questions about why the project has remained incomplete despite the significant amount of money reportedly invested in its construction.
The Fourth Estate investigation is expected to provide further details on the history of the project, the funds spent and the circumstances surrounding its abandonment.
