The government has announced plans to terminate the contract for the construction of the Pwalugu Dam, citing the need for a fresh approach to ensure the project's completion.
Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, made this known during a media briefing following a three-day tour of various departments and agencies under his ministry. "We will terminate the Pwalugu contract immediately, secure a new contractor, find funding, and swiftly ensure the project's execution," he stated.
Addressing concerns about potential judgment debt, the minister assured that due diligence would be observed before taking any action. "Before proceeding with termination, we will consult the Attorney General's department for legal advice.
However, we are committed to ensuring that the Pwalugu project is executed.
