COCOBOD to review multi-million dollar flats under construction- Hackman
The Board Chairman of COCOBOD, Hackman Owusu
Agyeman has expressed some misgivings at a
multi-million dollar flats under construction in
Tema Community 2 to house workers of COCOBOD.

According to him, the 192 flats, which are being
constructed by Amandi Constructions, have some
deficiencies that raise questions of value for
money.
The agreement for the construction was signed
under the erstwhile John Mahama administration.

Speaking to Citi Business News after touring the
facility, Mr. Owusu-Agyeman hinted that the board
of COCOBOD will evaluate the cost of the flats to
ensure value for money.

“Already we’ve seen a few deficiencies like no
wardrobes in the bedrooms, kitchens have no
storage, there is no store and few things. We
intend to do what is right,” he said, adding
that the board only wants value for all contracts
undertaken by COCOBOD.

Mr. Owusu-Agyeman stated that no conclusions have
been reached yet as the board awaits documents
covering the construction of the flats.
“We intended that we would see it so that when
something is put on paper for us, we can relate it
to we have seen on the ground”.
He stressed that there is the need to expend
public funds in a transparent and accountable
manner to bring value to the citizenry.
