Awarding Of New Road Contracts Put On Hold – Roads Minister

The Ministry of Roads and Highways has announced the suspension of new road contracts for 2021 despite the government’s declaration as a second year of roads.

The ministry has explained the decision comes on the back of the government’s plan to focus on completing existing projects

According to the minister, Kwasi Amoako Atta, the directive applies to all ministers.

“President Nana Akufo-Addo has directed all his ministers, particularly the infrastructure ministers, including my good self, to ensure that we put a hold on new contracts to complete or bring to substantial completion all the major projects that can be found at every nook and cranny of this country,” he said on Accra-based Citi FM.

He pledged the government’s commitment to pay debts owed contractors for existing projects to aid completion.
