The Minister of Roads and Highways, , has revealed the government's plans to disburse an amount of GH¢4 billion for payments to road contractors to resume work on stalled road projects across the country.
Addressing the media on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, Kwame Agbodza provided a timeline for the disbursement of funds, stating that payments will begin later this month.
He noted that the GH¢4 billion allocation would go toward settling part of the government's estimated GH¢21 billion debt owed to road contractors "On record, we are intending to pay some GHC4 billion towards retiring part of the 21 billion from this month.
I have no doubt that will be on record to be one of the biggest payments at a particular time to make sure that we are serious about clearing the debt and then also making provision to start the new work we are talking about," he disclosed.
