Marietta Brew-Oppong – Minister of Justice and Attorney-General<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Minister of Justice and Attorney-General, Marietta Brew-Oppong has revealed that her outfit is collaborating with the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority, SADA, to terminate contracts it entered into with Asongtaba Cottage Industries.<\/p>\n

President Mahama in January 2014 instructed the SADA Board to work in collaboration with the Attorney General\u2019s Department to terminate two contracts it entered into with the Asongtaba Cottage Industry; specifically the Guinea fowl rearing and afforestation project in the northern parts of Ghana.<\/p>\n

Government sunk an amount of GH\u00a232 million into the tree planting project, while the Guinea fowl project cost an additional GH\u00a215 million. However it was discovered several years after the contract was signed and the amount disbursed, that nothing concrete had been achieved.<\/p>\n

Two months after the directive was released however, several questions have come up as to how far those instructions given by the President have been carried out. But in an interview with Ultimate Radio\u2019s Ebenezer Afanyi Dadzie, the Attorney General Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong said the Ministry has begun working with the SADA Board to carry out the president\u2019s directive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can just assure you that it is being looked at very keenly. We have met with the management of SADA and there are several meetings that we are going to hold, but until all that is done, I don\u2019t think I can come and tell you the process by which we are implementing the president\u2019s directives. But we are working on it and at the appropriate time when matters are brought to a close we will let the public know,\u201d she divulged.<\/p>\n

In the statement that ordered the termination of the contracts, and signed by the Senior Communications Advisor to the President, Ben Dotse Malor, it was stated that while the presidency acknowledged the viability of the projects; it believes the necessary systems had not been put in place.<\/p>\n

The presidency further requested the \u201cSADA Board to hold consultations with the Forestry Commission and the Ministry of Local Government to work out a strategy for the proper implementation of the aforestation and tree growing project, on a decentralized basis.<\/p>\n
