One of the issues that was hugely debated on during the administration was the amount of new roads the government had constructed since it took over office on January 7, 2017.
Akufo-Addo, in one of his State of the Nation addresses, claimed that his government had constructed an unprecedented 11,000 kilometres km of new roads since 2017, which was refuted by a number of experts who asserted that the figures were grossly exaggerated.
