Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has challenged Greenhouse International Development Ghana to complete 15 kilometres of the outstanding works on the Have-Hohoe Road by the end of December.
The Minister gave the contractor the deadline during an inspection of roads along the Eastern Corridor, where he expressed concern about the slow pace of construction on the project.
He said the company had the capacity to complete the works on schedule but had failed to commit adequate resources to the project.
Mr Agbodza said the responsibility for the slow progress rested largely with the company’s beneficial owners, whom he urged to provide the necessary financial backing to accelerate construction.

“I know the problem is not your problem. The problem is the beneficial owners of Greenhouse, and I’m asking Greenhouse to invest more in this project,” he said.
He insisted that completing 15 kilometres of the remaining 27-kilometre stretch by December was achievable if the contractor committed more resources to the work.
Agbodza urges contractors to improve traffic flow ahead of Christmas
The Minister also urged contractors working along the Eastern Corridor to intensify construction efforts to improve traffic movement ahead of the Christmas festivities.
He said the immediate priority was to create additional road capacity to accommodate increased traffic during the festive season and minimise delays for motorists.
Mr Agbodza stressed that commuters should not have to spend several hours in traffic while travelling to celebrate Christmas with their families.
He also appealed to motorists to avoid driving back onto sections of the road that had already been cleared for construction, warning that doing so could disrupt ongoing works and create additional challenges for contractors.
He assured road users that construction would continue on the cleared sections and urged them to cooperate with the traffic management arrangements to ensure smoother journeys during the festive period.
