Governs Kwame Agbodza, the Roads Minister, has warned that two surveyors could face investigation from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over suspected attempts to inflate compensation claims for properties impacted by road projects. The minister alleged that some surveyors persuade affected individuals to reject government valuations in exchange for significantly higher compensation amounts.
