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.
