Indexing government scandals one at a time
Parliament has approved a staggering amount of GHC800,000 for the development of a website for the Ministry of Special Development Initiatives. The figure was contained in the breakdown of the ministry’s 2018 projected expenditure.
It is unclear the nature of the website the ministry intends developing but an IT expert Divine Puplampo who spoke to Starrfm said the budget for the website is a complete rip-off.
“Such an amount for a new ministry’s website is a just a rip-off. It is outrageously too much. For a new ministry that obviously has limited information and data to post out there, it shouldn’t cost them more GHC200,000 to develop a good website and that should even include maintenance, ” he said.
