The Achimota-Ofankor-Apedwa road and the Legon-Madina Pantang road are examples.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. William Kwame Agyei, founder of the group, told Citi News that the about 29 toll booths across the country alone generate over Gh\u00a23 million monthly and this figure does not include other revenue sources like fuel levy and vehicle registration.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Agyei insisted: \u201cWe believe that there\u2019s enough money for the government to lay its hands on to bring the contractors back, looking at the components and the various revenues that the toll booth and vehicle registration fees, the levy etc, about Gh\u00a2186 million.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government cannot say it doesn\u2019t have access to funds as (Roads Minister) Mr. Gidisu said when he was asked why the Ankobra road has stopped, he said there is no money, Tetteh-Quashie-Madina road, no money and other road projects, no money. So where is the money?\u201d Mr. William Kwame Agyei asked.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cIf you\u2019re driving on these roads, you will drive in a low gear and if you drive in a low gear, it translates to more fuel consumption, carbon dioxide also comes out, people living close to these roads are at the risk of developing respiratory diseases.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government cannot wait, he (President Mills) has to bring the contractors back on the road other than that we are going to persuade government and if persuasion fails we\u2019re going to educate every passenger who boards a bus about government reluctance to provide funds to the contractors to complete the road. If he fails that one too, we will switch over to demonstration\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Citifmonline.com<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div readability=\"7\">\n<hr \/>\n<p>Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Link: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> President John Mills has been given a month\u2019s ultimatum by a group called the Coalition for the Development of Ghanaians (CODGHA) to cause work to continue on all stalled major road construction works. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-432684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
