“I established the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund and put in a seed capital of $ 270 million and left it to President Akufo-Addo. where is that money?

“When COVID happened, but for the Stabilization Fund that was created in my time, the 1.2 billion they had taken from the COVID fund to provide food to people, to provide PPE to people and stimulus packages for people, if not If we had created that Fund, we would not have gotten those 1,200 million ”, he said.

Mahama said his government also left more than $ 300 million in the Sinking Fund, adding that these are all verifiable.

“How much is he going to leave President Mahama in 2021?” He asked.
