TRAFFITECH Funds Under Scrutiny as Kwame Jantuah Demands Government Accountability

Lawyer and Convention People’s Party (CPP) member Kwame Jantuah has called on the government to provide a detailed account of how funds generated through the TRAFFITECH initiative will be utilised, stressing the need for transparency and accountability in the management of the system.

Jantuah believes that the government must clearly explain how revenue collected through the initiative will be allocated, particularly regarding the continuous maintenance, upgrading and sustainability of the technology.

His call comes amid growing public discussions surrounding TRAFFITECH, an initiative introduced to strengthen traffic regulation and improve compliance with road safety rules.

According to the CPP member, collecting money from motorists should not be the government’s only concern. Rather, there must be a clear financial plan to ensure that the system remains functional, efficient and capable of delivering its intended benefits over time.

He argued that without proper financial accountability, questions could arise about how the revenue generated is managed and whether sufficient resources are being invested in maintaining the infrastructure supporting the initiative.

Government must be transparent about how the money collected through TRAFFITECH will be used. The public deserves to know whether these funds will go towards maintaining and improving the system, Jantuah’s position suggests.

He further emphasised that the sustainability of the initiative depends largely on consistent investment in its technological infrastructure, operational requirements and maintenance arrangements.

Jantuah’s concerns also highlight the importance of ensuring that motorists receive value for the charges imposed under the system. He believes that citizens must have confidence that the money they pay contributes directly to improving road safety and strengthening traffic management.

The government is therefore being urged to communicate a comprehensive framework outlining revenue collection, expenditure priorities and maintenance responsibilities.

His intervention adds another dimension to the ongoing debate about TRAFFITECH, particularly as stakeholders continue to examine its cost implications, effectiveness and impact on road users.

Ultimately, Jantuah’s demand places accountability at the centre of the conversation, insisting that the success of TRAFFITECH should not be measured solely by the revenue it generates but also by the quality of service it provides.

For him, transparency over the funds is essential to ensuring that the initiative does not become a revenue-generating exercise at the expense of its primary purpose: safer and more organised roads.
