The Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, who revealed in Parliament, on Thursday, June 5, 2025, that nearly $30 million has been paid to a contractor for a road project that is only one percent physically complete.
The site, according to the minister, has barely been cleared, sparking public outrage.
The project, which was launched with much fanfare, has since been virtually abandoned.
Kwame Agbodza expressed deep disappointment as he informed the House that the total cost of the project is officially pegged at $158,617,764, yet the contractor has already been paid $29,648,180 - despite the fact that even the basic clearing of the construction site has not been completed.
