The Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has revealed that preparations are well underway to process the second Interim Payment Certificate (IPC) for contractors working on the La General Hospital project. During an inspection visit to the site with the Member of Parliament for La Dadekotopon, Rita Naa Odoley Sowah, some contractors raised concerns about delays in construction progress due to funding constraints. In response, Mr. Akandoh assured them that measures had been taken to release funds to ensure the smooth continuation of work. “The second IPC has been raised, and we have forwarded it to the Ministry of Finance. We have done some follow-ups together with the Members of Parliament here, and the Ministry of Finance has assured us that it is committed to releasing the funds for this project. “I am happy that today, the workers are on site and are willing to make progress until payment is made,” he stated. The Minister expressed confidence that, barring any unexpected setbacks, the project will be completed within two years. “If everything goes according to plan, we should be done in the next two years. We will ensure that the next budget makes adequate provision for this project. We are not going to abandon it; we will continue until it is fully completed,” he added.
