\n
Finance Minister Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, has revealed that the government has invested almost GHC10 billion in the road sector since January, 2024 to enhance transportation and spur growth<\/strong><\/p>\nHe made this information known to the entire country when he delivered the\u00a02024 Mid-Year Budget\u00a0Review on the floor of Parliament on Tuesday, July 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can also confirm that Government has secured equipment to complement the efforts of our local authorities in improving community roads nationwide,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u00a0President Akufo-Addo has asserted that his administration has surpassed the combined road infrastructure achievements of the Mills\/Mahama era.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the sod-cutting ceremony for the dualization of the Anwiankwanta-Ahenema Kokoben Road on Monday, July 15, Akufo-Addo emphasized the scale of road development during his presidency.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have completed 12,830 kilometres of roads since 2017, a stark contrast to the 4,636 kilometres achieved from 2009 to 2016,\u201d President Akufo-Addo stated, highlighting the extensive roadworks including asphalt overlays, new constructions, bridges, and ongoing interchange projects.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe progress made sets a high standard and serves as a blueprint for what can be achieved with dedication and strategic planning. Successive governments must ensure sustained investment in infrastructure to address the road deficit and meet the evolving needs of our rapidly growing population,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Chiefs of Hwidiem in the Asutifi South District and Kenyasi Number 1 and 2 in the Ahafo Region have issued a firm ultimatum to the government, demanding the swift resumption of work on the Hwidiem-Kenyasi road.<\/p>\n
At a press conference in Kenyasi, the Chiefs voiced their frustration over the ongoing delays in road repairs, which they argue are severely affecting their communities.<\/p>\n
The contractor, Kofi Job, has been given a strict deadline to resume work or face repercussions.<\/p>\n
The Chiefs have warned that if their demands are not addressed by August 6, 2024, they will stage a large-scale demonstration.<\/p>\n
Nana Agyemang, representing the three communities, criticized the government\u2019s lack of response despite repeated appeals for urgent intervention regarding the deteriorating road conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe road continues to worsen with no intervention from the authorities. We urge all citizens to join us in the upcoming demonstration.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we are committed to resolving this issue peacefully, we may have no choice but to continue with protests until the roads are fixed. We hope that the government and other stakeholders will heed our call and take immediate action,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
This marks Dr. Amin Adam\u2019s debut\u00a0budget\u00a0presentation since his appointment to the role in February 2024.<\/p>\n
The presentation of the budget review adheres to Section 28 of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016 (Act 921), which mandates an update on the government\u2019s fiscal performance and revised financial projections halfway through the fiscal year.<\/p>\n
