Former President John Dramani Mahama has stated that the next NDC government will tackle Ghana’s housing deficit by building low-cost houses across the country.
According to him, one of the legacies of his administration will be to develop a truly affordable housing scheme for the ordinary Ghanaian.
In a meeting with the National Tenants Union on Thursday, June 27, 2024, the 2024 NDC Flagbearer outlined his plans to address Ghana’s housing deficit by building low-cost houses across the country.
“Housing is a crucial need, and my government will work tirelessly to develop social housing that is truly affordable and accessible for ordinary Ghanaians. That will be one of my legacies as President,” he assured.
Mr Mahama also vowed to push for the passage of the Rent Control Bill to prevent tenants from being unfairly burdened with paying more than one year’s rent in advance.
“We will also push for the Rent Control Bill to be passed into law to prevent tenants from being unfairly burdened with paying more than one year’s rent in advance. I deeply empathise with the 19 million people in Ghana who are renting and committed to building a brighter future for all Ghanaians, with housing being a pivotal aspect of that,” he noted.
