Ken Ofori-Atta<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, has told Parliament that his checks have confirmed the inadvertent omission of Volta Region from the road projects to be undertaken in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it turned out on page 160 of the Budget document, the Volta Region was inadvertently left out,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, November 13, the Minister presented the 2020 Budget Statement, describing 2020 as the year of roads.<\/p>\n

However, it turned out later that Volta Region was not captured in the Budget as one of the regions to benefit from the road projects.<\/p>\n

But the Minister in a statement to Parliament on Friday, November 15, 2019, explained that all regional ministers were asked to submit a list of critical roads which required immediate attention.<\/p>\n

At the instance of the Volta Regional Minister, he explained that three road projects were prioritized for the Volta Region.<\/p>\n

He mentioned the critical roads for the Volta Region as Asikuma-Have (45km), Have-Hohoe-Jasikan (83km) and Ho-Dzodze-Denu (99km).<\/p>\n

He assured that the Volta Regional road projects will not increase the 2020 appropriation \u201cbecause they are already included in the budget.\u201d<\/p>\n
