GH¢11bn for Accra-Kumasi Expressway not paid to contractors yet – CAGD dismisses claims

According to the Department, the funds were transferred from the Consolidated Fund into a dedicated Bank of Ghana account after Parliament approved the concession and government earmarked proceeds from the Annual Budget Funding Amount (ABFA) and mineral royalties in the 2025 Budget for the project.“It is therefore incorrect to conclude that because the transfer appears as expenditure in the accounts of Central Government, the funds have already been spent on the construction of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway,” it added.

The Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has dismissed claims that government has already spent nearly GH¢11 billion on the Accra-Kumasi Expressway project despite construction yet to commence.
