The Finance minister-designate Dr.
has come under intense scrutiny due to his seemingly contradictory statements and remarks regarding the reintroduction of road tolls.
In November 2021, the Akufo-Addo administration canceled the collection of road and bridge tolls, mentioning traffic congestion at tolling points as one of the reasons for the decision.
Following the development, Ato Forson who was the Minority Leader then expressed his support for the removal of road tolls during an interview on JoyNews in November 2021 He further praised the government's decision, stating that, in his view, the toll collection was not worthwhile.
