Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Agbodza, says President Akufo-Addo's claim of constructing 10,000km of roads during his tenure was a mirage.
Taking his turn at the Government Accountability Series at the Jubilee House on Wednesday, July 30, the Minister noted that he saw no evidence of 10,000km of roads built by the former President during his nationwide tour of Ghana's roads.
“As soon as I assumed office, I went around the country to see the roads in Ghana,” he said. “What I saw was that the over 10,000km of roads former President Akufo-Addo claimed he had constructed cannot be found. In fact, not even a 1,000 kilometre of good road was seen.”
Mr Agbodza’s comments raise further concerns about transparency in infrastructure reporting under the previous government.
He assured the public that his ministry remains committed to delivering quality road projects and would prioritise openness and verifiable data in tracking progress.
