Simon Osei-Mensah, a former regional minister for Ashanti, has refuted claims that he purposefully neglected the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council's (ARCC) Regional Minister's Bungalow and Presidential Villa.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) accused him of neglecting the properties during his eight years in office, resulting in the Presidential Villa and official house becoming overgrown with weeds and infested with reptiles.
The NDC promised to look into the situation and bring those involved to justice.
On Monday, January 13, Osei-Mensah described the difficulties he inherited when he assumed office on February 22, 2017.
