Some officials tip off contractors ahead of project inspections - Roads Minister claims
The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza has raised concerns that some contractors receive advance notice of his inspection schedules by persons in his team and prepare their sites specifically for his visits.
The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of work on the Sunyani-Atronie-Acherensua road. He warned officials responsible for monitoring contractors that their jobs could be at risk if performance does not improve.
Separately, the Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Emelia Arthur, has warned Landing Beach Committees (LBCs) against selling premix fuel above the approved prices, hoarding the product or diverting it for private gain. According to MyJoyOnline Ghana and Adom Online, the approved price for premix fuel is GH¢5.51 per litre, equivalent to GH¢24.80 per gallon.
The Ministry and the National Premix Fuel Secretariat will sanction committees that violate the approved pricing and distribution arrangements. LBC executives were directed to display the approved prices at all landing beaches to ensure fishers know how much they are required to pay.
