The immediate past MCE for Ho, Hon. Divine Bosson, has responded to allegations claiming he owns a 10-unit detached 2-bedroom apartment project in Godokpui, a suburb of Ho.
A viral video had suggested that the project, which he spearheaded during his tenure, was actually his personal project.
However, in a statement via his official Facebook page on Saturday, January 18, Mr. Bosson has refuted the allegations, explaining that the project, which was in line with the government’s affordable housing initiative, was meant to alleviate the accommodation burden faced by Assembly staff. He emphasized that the project was undertaken in collaboration with state institutions, including the Ghana Health Service, the Nurses Training College, and the School of Hygiene.

According to him, the land in question is owned by the Ghana Health Service and is currently occupied by the Nurses Training College and School of Hygiene. He also noted that there is a documented agreement in place to ensure that the two institutions benefit from the facility, not just the Ho Municipal Assembly staff.
Hon. Bosson further expressed concern over the spread of misinformation and has instructed his lawyers to take action to protect his reputation and clear his name.
Meanwhile, some assembly members are demanding thorough investigations into the project, citing a lack of documentation at the Municipal Assembly. They claim that the former MCE only mentioned the project during an assembly meeting but failed to provide details on funding, contractors, and terms of agreement.
“Assembly projects are captured in the medium-term plan and budgeted for. But this particular project isn’t captured in any such document. And even that, the assembly works department isn’t in charge of the project,” an assembly member told VoltaOnline, and called on the new government to institute a probe into the issue.
