The NDC sees Agenda 111 as a game-changer to defeat their archaic model of regime change every eight years. They are afraid we will break the eight. Agenda 111 complements major reforms in the health sector\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agenda 111 is the culmination of a pledge to improve healthcare infrastructure after the country dealt with the pressures of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President cut sod for the commencement of the project on Tuesday at Trede in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the hospitals will cost $16.88 million, with $12.88 million being used for the construction of the hospitals and $4 million for medical equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government said it has already set aside $100 million as commencement funding. However, the Minority in Parliament believes the government is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/2021\/08\/ghs600m-for-agenda-111-yet-to-be-disbursed-finance-ministry-replies-minority\/\"><strong>not being honest<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a>about expected expenditure on the Agenda 111 project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Agenda 111 project only an afterthought, it\u2019ll increase our debt \u2013 Mahama<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Former President, John Dramani Mahama, has described the government\u2019s ambitious agenda 111 hospital projects as an<a href=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/2021\/08\/agenda-111-project-only-an-afterthought-itll-increase-our-debt-mahama\/\"><strong>&nbsp;afterthought<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He maintains the hospital projects will not be completed before the NPP leaves office adding that&nbsp;the government needed to show something for all the borrowings, a reason why it has embarked on this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is only an afterthought that suddenly they realized that they must be doing some infrastructure and Agenda 111 has been conjured with no transparency as to how the money for the projects are going to be procured.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGovernment should avert its mind and try to finish some of those projects including some of those that they themselves have initiated. Is it going to lead to more borrowing when we already have such a high level [of debt],\u201d he questioned further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A former Minister of Health under the erstwhile NDC administration, Alex Segbefia, has also said the government\u2019s plan to build 111 hospitals across the country, is just a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/2021\/08\/agenda-111-not-a-new-idea-just-a-repackaged-plan-alex-segbefia\/\"><strong>repackaged plan<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;that may not see the light of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Yaw Buaben Asamoa at the press conference disputed these assertions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe NDC has desperate cries for recognition. They are pretending to be alarmed at abandoned projects and the lack of financial resources to complete Agenda 111. Well, let\u2019s tell them today. There are no abandoned projects. Every project has a reason why it is happening or not happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey describe Agenda 111 as a knee-jerk reaction without reading the NDC\u2019s manifesto of 2016 and 2020. The 2016 manifesto promised to upgrade district hospitals and establish new ones in districts where there were none. The 2020 manifesto specifies 101 district hospitals due for construction. So Agenda 111 is a well-thought-through intervention worthy of study by the NDC\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>end your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has ridiculed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) saying, the opposition party is threatened by the government\u2019s ambitious \u2018Agenda 111\u2019 initiative.
