SET THE RECORDS STRAIGHT ON GUINEA FOWL
PROJECT
The Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) has followed
with keen interest debate on various networks surrounding the
use of over GHC15.0m for a Guinea Fowl Project under the
Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA).
Whiles public interest on the matter is commendable due to the
involvement of public funds, the matter has failed to escape
the usual controversy associated with most ventures of the
Mahama led government mainly as a result of its inability to
set the records straight on the matter. Accordingly AFAG poses
the following;
• Which persons make up the Asongtaaba group?
• What is the groups’ track record in rearing of Guinea fowls?
• What is so special about the Asontaaba group that SADA would
by-pass the over 1600 Guinea Fowl farmers in the Northern
Region alone?
• How come till date a single Guinea Fowl has not been sighted
under the project?
• Who are the beneficiaries of the project?
• Is the investment worth the whooping GHC 15.0M made by SADA?
These questions demand urgent answers.
Whiles AFAG strongly believes that there should be frantic
efforts to bridge the gap between the North and the South,
AFAG would not in any way countenance or support any effort or
attempt which is dubious and shrouded in secrecy.
The people have every right to know how the taxpayers’ money
is used.
Thank you.
