South Korea in $10bn Ghana homes deal

Ghana's cities are said to be woefully short of housing

A South Korean firm has agreed to build 200,000 homes in Ghana over the next six years at a cost of $10bn (£6.1bn), Seoul officials say. Construction firm STX will set up a joint venture to share the cost of the project with Ghana's government.
Seoul officials say 90,000 of the homes will be owned by the Accra government - the rest will be sold.
South Korea says it intends to seek more opportunities to help build infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa.
The country, like other rich nations, has already signed various deals in Africa giving it access to farmland to help shore up food supplies.
STX said its housing deal will involve construction in 10 cities, including the capital Accra, from 2010 to 2015.
The firm signed the deal in Seoul with Ghana's Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing Robert Abongo.
The Korean Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs said the deal had been completed after officials had been to Ghana to promote Korean building firms.
"Korea [has a] lack of natural resources and thus is keeping an eye on the African continent - just as developed nations and China are fiercely doing so - to secure natural resources," said a ministry statement.
"Sub-Saharan Africa is rich in natural resources but is a civil-war devastated area with poor infrastructure. Korea sees the region as a new construction market."

Hivi ndivyo fedha za umma zinavyotakiwa kutumika. Angekuwa JK hapo angejisifia mpaka majogoo. Sijui misafari yote huwa anaendaga kufanya nini.Angekuwa kila akirudi safari zake akija na deals kama hizi watu wasingelalamika.

Good move.

Tena mtu aliyeenda kusaini mkataba ni waziri wa kawaida tu. Siyo Rais wala nini. JK hapo lazima angetia timu mwenyewe.

pia kiongozi wa wizara akiletewa idea hiyo na wakorea angeweza kuuliza kwamba yeye atanufaikaje.labda anaweza akataka nyumba 50 ziwe zake kwanza ndo wapitishe mradi.hii partnership ya KLM na KQ waholanzi walikuja Tanzania kuomba kuwekeza ATCL wakakataliwa

Yes, mipango mizuri ikifanywa ni hela ndogo . Kumbuka Tanzania hamna bado sheria ya mortgage, ule muswada bado umekwama bungeni.

Ghanaians wanaona hela yao ya dhahabu inaenda wapi.

Sasa rais kama huyu hata kama ana matatizo mengine, kwa hili tu anaweza kuja kukuomba kura ukamkubalia, au anaweza kusema bila haya "Maisha bora kwa kila M-Ghana", au "Ari mpya nguvu Mpya", of course hata upinzani wakimuibulia mambo yake mabaya - ambayo kama rais hatakosa- lakini watu wanaweza kukaa chini na kusema mazee mwacheni aende, nyumba bora 200,000 si mchezo.

Sio sisi, wa tatu kwa uzalishaji wa dhahabu Afrika baada ya Ghana na South Afrika lakini hatuoni hela zinapokwenda. Yani tunayoyafahamu ni madogo sana, nchi yetu ina uwezo kabisa wa kufanya project kama hizi na hata kubwa zaidi, tanzania ni kubwa zaidi na ina maliasili nyingi zaidi ya Ghana, lakini wapi.

Tunaishia kununua mibenzi, mi BMW inayodepreciate the minute you buy, kujenga ma kasri Msega na Bagamoyo wakati nchi nzima haina umeme wa kueleweka!
