Delving into details, he stated that although he had the finances to complete the house as intended, he stopped midway because he had difficulty finding a trustworthy person to supervise the project.
He touched on how people tried to fleece him by increasing the prices of items meant for the construction of the house.
“It is hard finding somebody to trust in Ghana to be honest. I think that is the main reason I stopped building, not because I did not have the money to continue, but because I do not trust anybody. If an item costs GH¢1, they would tell you it is GH¢10.”
Mentality of Ghanaians back home
He said the main reason some individuals back home inflate prices of items when entrusted with supervising a housing project is due to the mindset that people abroad get money easily.
Another factor he touched on was the economic situation in Ghana at the moment.
“Some people think we cultivate money from trees. There is no sympathy. In Ghana, it is all about what will benefit the person.”
