Head of Finance at Merban Capital, Nelson Cudjoe Kuagbedzi, has urged the Mahama administration to prioritise the completion of stalled road projects under its ‘Big Push Agenda’ rather than initiating new ones.
Speaking during a panel discussion on Channel One TV with Vivian Kai-Lokko ahead of the 2025 Mid-Year Budget Presentation on Thursday, July 24, Kuagbedzi said it would be economically unwise to abandon ongoing projects for new ones.
“This year [2025], the government should concentrate more on finishing stalled projects. Road is a good thing because where roads are, you see small businesses springing up. The Big Push money should be designated for the completion of these stalled projects,” he said.
He stressed that funding under the ‘Big Push Agenda’ should be allocated to completing key projects such as the Nsawam and Cape Coast roads.
“You cannot leave huge projects like the Nsawam road, the Cape Coast road, and start a new one. It will not make economic sense,” he stated.
