The Minority in parliament has questioned President Akufo-Addo’s claim that government has planted 7 million trees under the Green Ghana Project.
In his State of the Nation Address, the President stated 2 million more trees were planted exceeding the 5 million target of the project spearheaded by the Lands and Natural Resources Ministry.
But speaking to Starr News, Deputy Ranking member for the Select Committee on Lands and Natural Resources, Alhassan Suhuyini accused the president of deceit.
According to the Tamale North MP, the Minister for the sector, Samuel Abu Jinapor weeks ago told parliament just a little over 80 percent of the under 5 million trees planted survived.
He argued the differences in the President’s figures and that of his minister is a recipe for corruption since it makes accountability difficult.
