The District Chief Executive, DCE, for Sekyere Kumawu District, Mr. Samuel Addai Agyekum has disclosed that, Kumawu District Hospital will be completed in thirteen months time.
Oyerepaonline.com reported the demolition of nine structures of the ongoing Sekyere Kumawu District Hospital Project after it failed an integrity test.
The 120 bed-hospital project was started by President John Mahama’s government in 2015. The project was estimated to cost $38.8 million and was projected to be due for completion in 2017.
But appearing on Oyerepa Breakfast Time, Thursday hosted by Nana Yaw Mensah Joel, the DCE assured that the project will be completed in 13 months.
“I am happy that work is going on well on the Kumawu Hospital. It would be completed in about 13 months.” He stated.
He revealed that the financiers of the project are in Ghana and have visited the site to check the project themselves.
Mr. Addai Agyekum believes that, the contractor who started the project and did shoddy work which led to its demolitions face the consequences of their actions.
