\n

Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) workers began a strike on Tuesday, November 12, leaving the Authority\u2019s offices largely shut.<\/p>\n

A visit by Citi News to the GHA headquarters showed most offices closed, with only a few security personnel present to safeguard property.<\/p>\n

Security staff confirmed that they had turned away visitors due to the strike. A contractor visiting the office, unaware of the strike, expressed his frustration after being denied entry. \u201cI came this morning for my documents. They told me to come today, but I had no idea about the strike, so I\u2019m confused,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He appealed to the government to address the workers\u2019 concerns to expedite the resumption of GHA operations. \u201cWe need our documents to secure financing for our projects, especially as elections approach. We\u2019re urging the government to resolve this quickly and support the workers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, the Ministry of Roads and Highways has assured the public that the ongoing strike by Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) workers will not disrupt any ongoing road projects nationwide.<\/p>\n

The GHA workers\u2019 strike is a direct response to the government\u2019s refusal to halt the implementation of the controversial National Roads Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1118).<\/p>\n

At the heart of the dispute is a demand for the removal of two key officials: Ing. I.K. Mensah, the Chairman of the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) Board, and Ing. Collins B. Donkor, the Chief Executive Officer of the NRA.<\/p>\n
