The Member of Parliament for Atwima Nwabiagya North, Frank Yeboah, is urging the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to provide an immediate, credible, and transparent financing plan for completing the Agenda 111 hospital projects initiated under the former NPP administration.
Speaking during the 2026 Budget debate on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, the MP described the persistent lack of clarity on major public investments as deeply worrying and unacceptable. He stressed that Parliament cannot continue approving huge allocations without accountability mechanisms.
According to Mr. Yeboah, the government’s own figures expose major inconsistencies. Public estimates place the cost of each Agenda 111 hospital at GH¢170 million, with the total project expected to exceed GH¢19 billion.

However, the 2026 Budget allocates only GH¢100 million to complete ten hospitals, an amount the MP says “cannot even complete one fully, let alone ten.”
“At this pace, it will take Ghana more than a century, 193 years, to complete Agenda 111,” he warned. “This is not planning; this is postponing national health needs into the distant future.”
Turning to the Ghana Gold Board, Mr. Yeboah expressed alarm that despite the approved GH¢4.5 billion allocation for 2025, not a single cedi had been released as of the third quarter.
He questioned how the government expects to spend the entire amount in the last three months of the year without raising suspicion of impropriety.
“How does a government fail to release even one cedi in nine months yet insists it will spend the full GH¢4.5 billion in the last quarter? This raises serious red flags,” he stated.
He demanded a detailed explanation for the zero release and warned against any last-minute disbursement that could feed public concerns about misuse of funds.
The Atwima Nwabiagya North MP insisted that transparent, accountable, and traceable disbursement processes must be established before any funds are released for the Gold Board or the hospitals.
“Ghanaians deserve truth, not recycled promises. Agenda 111 cannot become a perpetual construction site, and GH¢4.5 billion cannot vanish into silence,” he emphasised.
