Governs Kwame Agbodza, the Minister for Roads and Highways, has issued a stern warning clearly stating that the John Mahama flagship Big Push projects are not for sale.
According to Governs Kwame Agbodza, the Big Push projects are not for sale, calling on Ghanaians to report anyone offering a ‘Big Push project’ for sale.
In a post on X, Governs Kwame Agbodza wrote, “ALERT !!!!
BIG PUSH projects NOT FOR SALE.
Report ANYONE offering a ‘Big Push project’ for sale to the nearest police station.
Thanks”.
Some Ghanaians reacting to the Minister’s remarks stated, “Please you had better not open your mouth to say this. Ghanaians deserve some respect. All the sole or single-sourced contracts and some competitive ones given out under this big push were ‘sold out’. Yes, the contracts were pushed in a big way for them”.
One X user added, “Please Honourable, the Oti Bridge is not moving faster at all. The work is very slow. I don’t see why, if the resources are there, that work should take any Engineer more than 2 years to complete”.
A netizen added, “Eiiii, so my Azaaa people have extended their schemes to your outfit too. Well, Honourable, just watch out for people you don’t know taking pictures with you. That’s what they do to tell their victims that they’re your friends”.
In related news, the Roads Minister has questioned Regional Ministers and District Chief Executives over their failure to report underperforming road contractors.
The Roads Minister stressed that if Regional Ministers and DCEs fail to report contractors who are not working, then the job is not for them.
Speaking in a video shared on X, Kwame Governs Agbodza stated, “So, Regional Director, what I don’t understand is, I don’t get you guys coming to me and telling me that this contractor is not working. Why is it that we are the ones who come to the site to see that the contractor is not working?
“Chief Executive, why? Why is it that you don’t report the contractors that this guy is not working? Why do we have to come to the site always to notice that they are not working? Or you don’t want to offend the contractors? Maybe you don’t want to offend them. If you don’t want to offend them, then this is not your job,” he questioned.
“You must be ready to offend people who are not doing what you ask them to, and as I said, no contractor is bigger than you. No contractor is stronger than you. You are the one in charge. So, please, we don’t hate the contractors, but we are giving them public money. Let them work according to this [timeline],” he noted.
“No one will say this road is not improved from the last time we were here, but we were expecting that we’d see more work,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, the Roads Minister has urged Ghanaians to help the government by monitoring the performance of contractors.
The Roads Minister called on Ghanaians to take ownership of road projects in their areas.
According to the Roads Minister, Ghanaians must record and share videos to help us monitor the performance of contractors.
In a news card shared by GHOne TV, the Roads Minister stated, “Take ownership of road projects in your areas. Record and share videos to help us monitor the performance of contractors..”
