Former Deputy Attorney General Alfred Tuah-Yeboah has publicly criticized current Attorney General Dominic Ayine for his remarks regarding the Saglemi housing project case, which Ayine described as weak and poorly investigated. Tuah-Yeboah expressed his shock at these claims, suggesting that Ayine may not have thoroughly reviewed the case docket or is misrepresenting the facts. He defended the integrity of the investigation conducted by the State Security Agency, which included a technical assessment by the Ghana Institute of Surveyors. This evaluation revealed significant discrepancies, noting that only 1,506 out of the planned 5,000 houses were constructed, despite $196 million being paid to the contractor. Tuah-Yeboah highlighted that the actual work completed was valued at only $67 million, raising serious concerns about financial irregularities and questioning the rationale behind the decision to abandon the case. He called for a more careful consideration of the evidence before dismissing the case, emphasizing the need for accountability in the management of public funds.
