Neglect Turns Presidential Lodge and Ashanti Regional Residency Into Decaying Relic

Key government accommodations at the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council have been left to deteriorate, sparking concerns over neglect and waste of state resources.

The facilities, which include the regional minister’s residence, the Presidential Lodge, and guest houses for government officials, have been unoccupied for nearly eight years, resulting in severe damage and disrepair.

Situated on a sprawling piece of land, the residency was once a symbol of pride and functionality. However, years of abandonment have transformed the area into a site of neglect.

The once-beautiful lawns and gardens of the residency have succumbed to the harsh harmattan season, with dry grass and wilting flowers adding to the atmosphere of abandonment.

Local leaders of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have decried the state of the residency, describing it as a waste of valuable government resources.

Regional Chairman of the NDC, Augustus Nana Akwasi Andrew, expressed dismay:
“When we were in power, the place was kept clean and green. The place looked like the seat of government, but now the place looks abandoned.”

Regional Secretary Dr. Frank Amoakohene also criticised the situation, demanding accountability and an investigation:
“We will launch an investigation into this issue. It will interest us to know how the regional minister got a residency. Was the government renting for him while this one was rotting away?”
