Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has cast serious doubt on the previous government’s touted infrastructure record, particularly its claim of constructing over 10,000 kilometers of roads during President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s tenure. Addressing journalists at the Government Accountability Series in Accra on Wednesday, July 30, Mr. Agbodza said a nationwide inspection conducted shortly after he assumed office revealed a stark contrast between official claims and the reality on the ground. “As soon as I assumed office, I went around the country to see the roads in Ghana. What I saw was that the over 10,000km of roads former President Akufo-Addo claimed he had constructed cannot be found,” he said. “In fact, not even a 1,000 kilometres of good road was seen,” the Minister added. Mr. Agbodza’s remarks come amid ongoing public debate over the actual scope and quality of road infrastructure developed under the former New Patriotic Party (NPP) government. His comments suggest the need for an independent audit of claimed achievements in the sector.
