President Kufuor inspects 15 billion
cedis State Banquet Hall's renovation
Accra, Jan. 9, GNA - President John Agyekum Kufuor on
Tuesday inspected renovation works being carried out at the
State Banquet Hall at a cost of 15 billion cedis.
The renovation, which started in June 2006, is scheduled for
completion by February 25, 2007, ahead of the Golden Jubilee
anniversary.
The scope of work involves, improving the floor and walls
with tiles, lighting system, furnishing, fixing of a central
air-conditioner and fire alarm system as well as external
works on the fountain.
President Kufuor, who was conducted round by Ms Sheila
Sackey, Comptroller of the Presidential Household, told the
Contractors, KBA Engineering, that the Government wanted the
job done by the middle of February 2007.
This, he said, would allow the systems to be properly
checked to avoid any disappointment.
Mr Ohene Menya, the Project Engineer, said their major
constraint used to be financing, but with that problem now
solved, they would deliver by the new date fixed by the
President.
The last time the Hall was maintained was in 1991, about 16
years ago.
President Kufuor later inspected the Accra International
Conference Centre.
This comes as the nation readies itself to play host to a
number of dignitaries expected in the country to attend the
Jubilee Celebration and some high-profile international
conferences in the course of the year.
