Is a $30m Presidential Place justified?

Priya Shah | 16:14 UK time, Thursday, 1 June 2006

Kingsley in Ghana has told us about that is costing $30 million. The money is a loan from India. In country with 1/3 of its people below the poverty line, he wants to know if this expenditure is justified. We hope to talk about this on Friday's programme....

What do you think? Shouldn't a President have a proper building to work from? The current building is an ex-slave castle after all. The US President has the Whitehouse, Russia has the Kremlin, shouldn't Ghana have the same? How grand does the President's office need to be? Or are there better things to spend money on?

And what about the government buildings in your own country? Are they appropriate? Were they expensive?

If you are in Ghana or anywhere else, get in touch...
