The Deputy Minister of Roads and Highways, Alhassan Suhuyini, has given an assurance that some significant improvement will be witnessed on the highly deteriorated 33.4-kilometre Ofankor-Pokuase-Nsawam stretch of the N6 before the end of this year.
His assurance follows significant payment of funds, the government is said to have made to the contractor who moved away from the site and abandoned construction due to alleged non-payment of funds by the previous government.
As a result of the current arrangements put in place by the government, he expressed the hope that project completion could be as scheduled, saying, "We are very confident that it will now be within schedule." Suhuyini made this known when he appeared before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in Parliament to answer questions on the way forward on the poor state of the 33.4-kilometre Ofankor-Pokuase-Nsawam stretch.
The deputy minister also used the occasion to render an apology to the public for the poor state of the 33.4-kilometre Ofankor-Pokuase-Nsawam stretch, which has become a significant problem for all stakeholders.
