This development follows the completion of an extensive audit conducted by the Auditor-General, which examined road contracts awarded under the previous administration.
“The audit has been completed, and we are now in a position to move forward with these critical projects,” President Mahama stated, radiating optimism about the future of infrastructure in Ghana. He highlighted the significance of these roadworks as part of the government’s ambitious Big Push Agenda aimed at revitalizing the nation’s infrastructure.
In his address, President Mahama promised that every region would see tangible benefits from this initiative, ensuring that no community would be overlooked. “Every region will benefit—no community will be left behind,” he assured the audience, reinforcing his administration’s commitment to equitable infrastructure development.
The President underscored the vital role that road construction plays in driving national growth and promoting regional integration. As he laid out the path forward, he also took a firm stance against corruption among contractors. He warned that any contractor found to have received payments from both the Road Fund and the Ministry of Finance, a practice referred to as double-dipping, would face serious consequences.
“There will be no room for impunity. Accountability and transparency are pillars of this administration, and anyone found guilty of financial misconduct will be dealt with,” he declared firmly, setting a clear expectation for contractors as the government moves ahead with these key infrastructure projects.
As the tour continued, President Mahama’s commitment to enhancing Ghana’s infrastructure resonated with many, offering hope for improved roads and connectivity across the country.
