  "account": "The Ashaiman-Afienya-Atimpoku road project, currently being built by INZAG GmbH, is set to be transferred to the Big Push programme for its remaining funding. This decision was made by Ghana's Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, during a project inspection on November 10, 2026. The shift in funding source will enable the government to finance the project with its own resources, rather than continuing the existing loan arrangement. Agbodza emphasized that the project's scope and the existing contract will remain unchanged, with only the funding arrangement being modified. The government aims to fund this project through the Big Push programme, which is part of a broader policy to move selected road projects away from loan financing and fund their completion through this alternative source. This funding shift is not limited to the Ashaiman-Afienya-Atimpoku project but also applies to other projects like the Tema-Aflao road, executed by BHM, and the Bolgatanga-Bawku-Atimpoku road, both of which are under consideration for similar funding arrangements.",
  "summary": "The government is planning to migrate the Ashaiman-Afienya-Atimpoku road project, being executed by INZAG GmbH, onto the Big Push programme to secure funding for its continued construction.",
