Speaking at a news conference in Accra, said a technical audit by the Ghana Institution of Surveyors on the Saglemi Project which initially had an output target of 5000 units at a total cost of US$200million had estimated that additional funds would be required to complete the project. The original output target of the Saglemi project of 5,000 units at a total cost of US$200million as stipulated in the financing agreement presented to, and approved by Parliament had surreptitiously, and drastically, reduced to 1,502, of which 1,389 units had been completed without a commensurate reduction in the overall loan financing. Currently, an amount of approximately, US$197million representing 98 percent has been expended on 1,502 units as against the planned 5,000 units, he said.

The Ministry of Works and Housing has said it will require an additional US$32million to complete the abandoned 5,000-unit Saglemi housing project started by the previous government.
Addressing a press briefing on Tuesday, April 27, 2021 in Accra, the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Francis Asenso-Boakye said a technical audit by the Ghana Institution of Surveyors on the Saglemi Project which initially had an output target of 5000 units at a total cost of US$200million had estimated that additional funds would be required to complete the project.
He said an initial technical audit of the facility by the Ministry also found out that there was a lack of primary infrastructure such as water supply and electricity which had limited the utility of the development.
