Domelevo Attacks NDC Government Over Hajj Village Project

Daniel Yaw Domelevo, the former Auditor General, has criticized the government for its involvement in the construction of the Hajj Village.

He specifically targeted the Minister of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, for his assertion that taxpayer money is not being used for the project.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, Kwakye Ofosu stated, “FACT: The Hajj Village is primarily an airport terminal building for check-in and pilgrim facilitation, owned and being built by the Ghana Airport Company. Not a pesewa of taxpayers’ money is involved.”

Dismissal

However, Domelevo dismissed his claims. In a post on his social media platforms, he remarked, “Honorable Felix Kwakye Ofosu, please tell it to the marines.”

He emphasized that the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) is a state-owned enterprise, meaning it is primarily owned and controlled by the government, which holds the majority of its shares.

“The GACL is owned and controlled by the government of Ghana. It is truly astonishing—especially as we grapple with recovering over $58 million squandered on the national cathedral project— that one of the key priorities of the Mahama administration is the fruitless and wasteful Hajj village project.”
