“We will start no new project in the first year and what we will do is to harness all resources that are possible to continue and finish abandoned ones," he said.
His comment comes after the traditional leaders complained of projects in their localities that have been abandoned.
Mahama also indicated that individuals will be held accountable for abandoned projects that the state made resources available to be completed.
