Mahama’s $278m Airport Terminal 3 turns ‘swimming pool’ after rains

Ghana, under former president John Mahama, after spending an amount 278million dollars on the Building the new Terminal 3 at the Kotoka Airport has seen the facility partly flooded after a downpour, MyNewsGh.com has learnt.

The Terminal which was to accommodate 5 million travellers a year, 1250 passengers an hour and six boarding air bridges flooded with the video of the flooding trending as a butt of jokes against Mr Mahama and the NDC who only days ago were very proud of the project, fighting the Akufo-Addo government not to take credit for it.

The Terminal 3 project was financed from credit raised by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority on its own balance sheet with no sovereign guarantee or public charge to its debt stock, Mahama had boasted when it was started.

A Turkish company, MAPA Construction and Trade Company was the main contractor.

Mahama’s $278m T3 is fraud

Controversial New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong early this year accused the former President Mahama administration of inflating the cost of the Kotoka International Airport Terminal 3 project, as MyNewsGh.com reported at the time.

According to the MP, 278 million dollars for one project is way outrageous, and only serves to show the thievery of the Mahama administration.

“There is no value for money for that project. You can’t tell me you spent 278 million dollars on one Terminal. How much did Heathrow cost? One terminal 278 million dollars! Why?” The MP asked.

“I deliberately went to count the hangars, just seven. 278 million, the things it can do at the airport is not what they did,” he said.

“Do you know what 278 million dollars can do? These guys are greedy,” he said on Adom T.V’s Badwam.

With the flooding episode, many Ghanaians have been left in shock, making Kennedy Agyapong feel vindicated. More soon.
