Paul Adom-Otchere, the renowned Broadcaster and host of Good Evening Ghana, has revealed his best-performing minister in the second coming of President John Dramani Mahama.
According to Paul Adom-Otchere, his best performing minister in this Mahama administration is the Roads Minister, Governs Kwame Agbodza.
In a post shared on X by GHOne TV, Paul Adom-Otchere is quoted to have said, “My best performing minister in this Mahama administration is Roads Minister, Kwame Governs Agbodza”.
Meanwhile, Governs Kwame Agbodza, one of the key performing ministers, has been tasked by President Mahama to lead the charge for his legacy project, “The Big Push”.
According to Governs Kwame Agbodza, his job is to make sure President John Mahama’s vision of improved roads across Ghana comes to pass.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on Monday, January 5, 2026, Mr Agbodza stated, “The President has committed to Ghanaians to improving roads across the country. You have heard him whenever he goes to meet stakeholders, talking about the networks to be improved”.
“So, the President has committed resources for these roads to be improved. He made provisions in the budget for the Finance Minister to read. My job is to make sure that the vision of the President comes to pass,” Mr Agbodza stated.
In a high-pressure sector, with early optimism around stronger delivery and accountability, his real judgment will come from actual road improvements across the country over time.
Some of the roads under the Big Push project include the Accra–Kumasi Expressway, with the sod-cutting coming soon, the Wenchi–Bole–Wa Road, the Ho–Denu Road, the Dodowa–Afienya–Dawhenya Road, the Kumasi Inner & Outer Road Network Projects, Sunyani–Techiman–Wenchi Road Network, the Tamale–Savannah Corridor Roads, and also the Cape Coast–Takoradi Dualisation.
Over fifty major road projects are underway under the Big Push project, with the Roads Minister announcing that the John Mahama-led Big Push projects will be completed in twenty-four months.
The roads minister revealed that the Big Push road projects have been deliberately structured to span two years.
However, the only blemish in Governs Kwame Agbodza’s work so far is the failure to roll out the electronic road toll system and also the brouhaha surrounding the Big Push sole-sourced contract.
In related news, Kwame Governs Agbodza has been issued a two-month ultimatum to the contractor of the Wenchi–Sawla road, Maripoma Enterprise Limited.
According to the Roads Minister, Maripoma Enterprise Limited must deliver at least 20% progress on the Wenchi–Sawla Lot 7 road project or face contract termination.
Kwame Governs Agbodza made this known after inspecting the project and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the contractor’s performance.
The Roads Minister stated, “It’s either you do the 20%, or we terminate. You are not the first person we are telling,” Mr Agbodza said during the inspection.
“We went to the Western North. You didn’t even turn up on the site. You did not even turn up on the site when you took mobilisation on that one as well. In fact, you didn’t even have a site camp,” he said
“You are a big company, but your bigness is not showing in the actual delivery of your projects,” he said. “We need to say this in the afternoon for everybody to hear. You must change the way you operate your things. At the moment, it’s not helpful to you and to the country.”
He further added, “You are sitting on the job. Well, we have said what we have to say. You have two months to do 20 per cent, or we are not even coming to talk to you. We’ll terminate, and you can go to court”.
“Go and see the condition in which the people are in that section of the road. Why? It’s not right,” he said.
“We should be celebrating policy like the Big Push. It was built around the Ghanaian contractor, and it was deliberate,” he added.
