Agbodza didn’t accuse Adom Kyei’s church of blocking road — Spokesperson

Kojo Danquah, the spokesperson for the Minister of Roads and Highways, has refuted claims that Minister Kwame Agbodza accused the church connected to Adom Kyei of obstructing a road or obstructing contractors from reaching a construction site. Danquah addressed this in response to a report titled "Adom Kyei and his church block the road and deny us access to construct the road – Road Minister Agbodza reacts," deeming it factually inaccurate and a distorted depiction of the Minister's remarks.

He stressed that the contractor, not the Minister, brought up the allegation that the church was impeding the road. Danquah clarified that a video of the Minister's interactions directly demonstrates Agbodza directing the contractor to facilitate access for the church, construct an additional lane, repair the road leading to the church, promptly address the drainage issue, and undertake an additional 600 meters of road work.

He urged that the headline be corrected to accurately represent the Minister's actual statements, warning that misrepresenting public officials' comments can create a misleading portrayal of the situation.
