Finance Minister-designate, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has reaffirmed the National Democratic Congress' (NDC) commitment to reintroducing road tolls to generate revenue for road maintenance.
Speaking during his vetting before Parliament's Appointments Committee, Dr Forson emphasised that the NDC has always supported road toll collection and intends to restore it.
Dr Forson explained that while the previous government under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) abolished road tolls in 2021, it had signalled plans to reintroduce them before leaving office. "The NPP submitted a concession agreement to Parliament to reintroduce road tolls, but it was not laid," he said.
Dr Forson stressed that the NDC has been consistent about its intention to reinstate the tolls.
