Governs Kwame Agbodza, the Minister for Roads and Highways, has dismissed allegations that the nationwide road inspection campaign is a targeted effort to criticize contractors. According to Agbodza, the inspections are instead focused on evaluating project progress, pinpointing obstacles, and motivating contractors to expedite their efforts to meet project timelines.
The minister explained that maintaining regular monitoring of construction sites is crucial due to the government's dedication to completing ongoing road projects on schedule. During a visit to the Northern Region as part of his nationwide inspection tour, Agbodza stated that the exercise has already spurred some contractors to increase their work rate.
He emphasized that the inspections aren't about finding fault with contractors but rather about acknowledging the successful progress made by many Big Push and other contractors. Agbodza also reassured contractors that fall short of their own targets that they will receive government support to help them complete their projects in a timely manner.
He confidently stated, "Don't worry, with our support, you can also complete your work on schedule."
