The Deputy Minister of Roads and Highways, Alhassan Sayibu Suhuyini, has criticised some road contracts signed under the administration, stating that many were poorly conceived and failed to meet the basic standards required for public infrastructure projects.
According to him, the country is now bearing the brunt of those substandard contracts, with several roads either left incomplete or already deteriorating.
Speaking in a media interview on Friday, August 1, the Tamale North MP explained that some of the contracts lacked proper technical evaluation, resulting in designs that were not suitable for the intended terrain or usage. "Some of these contracts were simply not fit for purpose.
They were politically motivated and rushed through without adequate consideration for long-term durability or cost-effectiveness," he stated.
