In order to bring rest the ongoing debate on the construction of a Hajj Village, Minister of State in charge of government communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has provided some clarity.
According to him, the project is being undertaken by the Ghana Airport Company from the internally generated funds.
He clarified that it comes at no cost to the taxpayer.
His post shared via social media read “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 tax payers’ money involved”.
Meanwhile, prior to the sod cutting exercise by the President, the former Hajj Board Chairman urged the government to desist from taking credit.
He explained that construction started under the previous government but there was no pump and pageantry to mark the beginning of the project.
