加纳工程和住房部长 Francis Asenso-Boakye 先生为国家住房有限公司成立了一个由九名成员组成的委员会，负责制定有助于该公司为加纳人生产经济适用房的政策。

据部长介绍，尽管国有住房公司提供经济适用房，但大多数加纳人无法获得此类房屋，因为他们负担不起。

因此，他呼吁委员会成员努力确保大多数工作人口能够轻松买得起自己的房子。

“我要求该委员会制定政策，让国家住房生产加纳人负担得起的房屋。我们过去四年开发的房子，称之为经济适用房，老百姓负担不起。” 部长说。

确保经济适用房

昨天在首都阿克拉支持成立委员会的 Asenso-Boakye 先生进一步敦促委员会成员专注于实现总统的目标，即优先为所有加纳人提供大规模、安全和负担得起的住房。

董事会由 Oheneba Owusu Afriyie IV 担任主席，成员包括 Kwabena Ampofo Appiah 先生、Ofosua Amagyei 女士、Sheila Bartels 女士、Odaifio Welentsi III 和 Theresa Tuffour 博士。

其余为 Tweneboa Kodua Fokuo 先生、Maame Adwoa Gyekye-Andoh 博士和 Earl Ofori-Atta 先生，他们都是阿库福总统的指定人选。

Asenso-Boakye 先生将负担得起的住房描述为这样一种情况：大多数加纳人可以将其月收入的 30% 左右用于支付抵押贷款以购买此类住房。

他说：“我们希望大多数加纳人的工作人口可以利用他们的养老基金，并使用他们月薪的一部分来支付抵押贷款，这样他们就可以拥有房屋。”

同时，部长赞扬了国家住房公司为员工提供良好的工作条件并为客户提供更好的服务。

政府的支持

此外，在向委员会成员发表讲话时，他强调他们需要停止干涉管理层的角色，因为他们的职能是不同的。

“管理层和委员会必须密切合作，但你的职责和责任与管理层明显不同，”他指出。

然而，他表示，政府致力于协助私营部门确保经济适用房，并指出统计数据表明，大约 60% 的加纳人只能在政府的支持下才能获得住房。

委员会成员

代表委员会发言的 Oheneba Owusu Afriyie 表示致力于确保所有人都能负担得起住房。

“我们注意到这样一个事实，即我们的民众中有更多人在努力寻找安放他们的地方。我们将与部长合作，确保为加纳人提供安全和负担得起的住房，”他说。

State Housing Board Inaugurated

The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Francis Asenso-Boakye, has inaugurated a nine-member board of the State Housing Company Limited, with a charge on them to fashion policies that will help the company to produce affordable housing for Ghanaians.

According to him, although the state housing company was providing affordable housing the majority of Ghanaians could not access such houses because they were not affordable.

He, therefore, called on the board members to work to ensure that the majority of the working population could easily afford their own houses.

“I am charging this board to come up with policies that will let State Housing produce houses that Ghanaians can afford.

The houses being developed by you in the past four years, which they call affordable housing, is not affordable,” he said.

Ensure affordable houses

Mr. Asenso-Boakye who inaugurated the board in Accra yesterday, further urged the board members to focus on realising the President's objective of prioritising the provision of mass, secure and affordable housing for all Ghanaians.

The Board is under the chairmanship Oheneba Owusu Afriyie IV, with Mr. Kwabena Ampofo Appiah, Ms. Ofosua Amagyei, Ms. Sheila Bartels, Odaifio Welentsi III and Dr. Theresa Tuffour as members.

The rest are Mr. Tweneboa Kodua Fokuo, Dr. Maame Adwoa Gyekye-Andoh and Mr. Earl Ofori-Atta, all of whom are President’s nominees.
Mr. Asenso-Boakye described affordable housing as a situation where the majority of Ghanaians could spend about 30 per cent of their monthly income to pay for a mortgage to secure such houses.

“We want a situation where the majority of the working population of Ghanaians can leverage their pension fund and use part of their monthly salary to pay their mortgage so that they can own homes,” he said.

Meanwhile, the minister has commended the State Housing Company for providing good working conditions for staff and improved services for its clients.

Government’s support

Further, addressing the board members, he underscored the need for them to desist from interfering with the role of management as their functions were distinct.

“The management and board must work closely but your duties and responsibilities are distinctly different from that of management, he noted.

He, however, said the government was committed to assist the private sector to ensure affordable houses, noting that statistics indicated that about 60 per cent of Ghanaians could only access housing with support from the government.

Board members

Oheneba Owusu Afriyie, who spoke on behalf of the board, expressed its commitment to ensure affordable housing for all.

“We are mindful of the fact that the greater proportion of our populace struggle to find a place to lay their head. We will collaborate with the minister to ensure safe and affordable housing for Ghanaians,” he said.
