(New Patriotic Party) NPP Government $5m Housing Contract leak has surfaced online few days after the swearing in of the new president of the country.
Just days after the New Patriotic Party (NPP) faced electoral defeat in the 2024 Ghanaian elections, a leaked document allegedly exposing how the outgoing administration awarded a lucrative $5 million housing contract has gone viral.
The contract, signed on December 19, 2024, involved the construction of 18 two and three-bedroom apartments in the Cantonments area for the Ministry of Works and Housing. This revelation has sparked significant public outcry and questions regarding the timing and ethical implications of such a decision by the NPP government, especially given its knowledge of the impending transition of power.

The document, made public by various media outlets, details how the contract was awarded to Joberg Ghana Limited, a company now under scrutiny for its ties to the outgoing administration. Critics argue that this move could be seen as an attempt to secure financial benefits for party loyalists or to influence the incoming government’s agenda.
Public discourse on social media platforms has been intense, with many Ghanaians expressing disbelief and concern over the transparency and integrity of government contract allocations during such a politically sensitive period. The incoming National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration has vowed to investigate these last-minute transactions to ensure accountability and uphold the public trust.
