If you go to Nungua-Teshie Drive, you\u2019ll see the contractor is not on site because he has not been paid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you go to the Abossey Okai road construction site, you\u2019ll see the contractor has moved from the site, he has not been paid if you go to Takoradi and Kumasi, same as most parts of the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Chamber is urging the government to disclose the recipients of the GH\u00a249 billion and to account for the allocation and use of the funds, especially in light of the upcoming elections where such projects are often showcased.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if the government claims it has paid Ghc49 billion to contractors, who are these contractors he has purportedly paid, that they are not at the various sites for the continuation of this project, especially in an election year when the government needs those particular projects to campaign with\u2026it\u2019s outrageous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>ID\/MA<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:\u00a0<\/strong>www.ghanaweb.com<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chamber of Construction Industry is calling for transparency from the government regarding the alleged payment of GH\u00a249 billion to some unknown road contractors.
