President John Dramani Mahama has expressed surprise at earlier claims suggesting that Ghana lacked financial resources, stating that his administration is currently funding major projects largely through internally generated revenue.
Speaking at a ceremony in Accra on May 2, 2026, Mahama said, 'So there was money in Ghana,' referring to the previous government led by Nana Akufo-Addo. He noted that his government has been able to finance infrastructure projects without relying heavily on external borrowing.
Mahama's comments come amid ongoing debates about Ghana's fiscal management. The previous administration had often cited limited funds as a reason for delayed projects.
