A former Auditor-General, Daniel Yao Domelevo, has strongly criticised the government led by President John Dramani Mahama, arguing that its decision to prioritise the construction of a Hajj Village is a misplaced use of resources.
Domelevo expressed concern that such a project is unnecessary, particularly when the country is still grappling with the financial fallout from the $58 million spent on the National Cathedral with little tangible progress.
He described the initiative as "fruitless and wasteful," questioning the logic behind allocating resources to a religious facility while Ghana's economy remains fragile.
