What did the NPP do about it, and why were they not arrested? If the rest of the money is with NDC, why are they not arrested yet? NPP is a failure.

Hmmm, this is Ghana oo. We don't like a president who is for development but the ones that loot state coffers. Time will tell .

Frederick P. Mills remarked:

Let's be serious as a country for once. Equating NPP to NDC is wrong. This project is near completion. What stops NPP from continuing its use?
