In July, the Government disbursed GH¢23.1 billion to clear road contractors' arrears and fund projects under the Big Push infrastructure program, according to Kwami Governs Agbodza, Minister of Roads and Highways. President John Dramani Mahama inspected the Navrongo-Chuchuliga-Tumu Road project as part of his two-day tour of the Upper East Region.
The bulk of the funds went toward arrears payments, making it the largest sum of arrears paid by any government in Ghana's history. Mahama continued projects from the previous administration while initiating new ones. In the Upper East Region, many issues regarding roads were being addressed, and road workers were returning to sites to resume work. Contractor MyTurn was expected to complete the Navrongo-Chuchuliga-Tumu project ahead of schedule.
