The Member of Parliament of Akim Swedru, Kennedy Nyarko Osei, has addressed the government's claim that the construction of a permanent Hajj Village in Accra will not be funded with taxpayer money.
According to the lawmaker, one thing the government has failed to recognise or understand is that the project, which is being developed by the Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL), involves public funds, as it is a state-owned enterprise.
Nyarko Osei explained that since the Hajj Village will be developed using funds allocated through GACL, it still constitutes state funds, which he argues rightfully belong to Ghanaians. ", my brother, note that GCAA and GACL funds are all public funds.
Every fund from these two agencies is for the state.
