Ghanaians are alarmed over revelations that the government of Ghana has paid One Hundred Million Ghana Cedis (GHc100,000,000) to Dredge Masters Limited – a member of the Jozpong Group of Companies.
The payment order, published by The Fourth Estate, a not-for-profit media outlet by the Media Foundation of West Africa said “The transfer is in settlement of work executed on the Accra Sanitary, Sewer and Storm Water Drainage Alleviation Project III.”
Many Ghanaians took to social media to express their disgust over the revelation at the back of the serious economic hardship resulting from a hike in fuel prices, high inflation of over 15%, high food prices among others.

GHANA IS NOT BROKE! THIS IS HOW THEY SPEND OUR MONEY
*******************************************************************
In 2015, President Mahama’s brother Ibrahim Mahama used the government’s equipment to dredge the Odaw for free. Hell broke loose with all manner of accusations from the opposition NPP.
In this hardship when even National Service Personnel cannot be paid, the NPP is paying a Zoomlion sister company ONE HUNDRED MILLION GHANA CEDIS for work on the Odaw.
The perennial fetching of sand and other waste materials from the Odaw isn’t a permanent solution. So why does the government not employ operators to use its equipment to dredge as Ibrahim Mahama did? The cost of maintaining the equipment and paying the operators won’t be GHc100,000,000.
Where are the machines and equipment Ibrahim Mahama used to dredge for free? And what processes did the government use to pick Zoomlion’s sister company for this job?
Or does asking these questions amount to hating Zoomlion or Akufo-Addo’s NPP?
