Governs Kwame Agbodza, the Roads and Highways Minister-designate has exposed the former president Akufo-Addo over claims his government constructed 11,000km of roads.
The former president Akufo-Addo on numerous occasions claimed his government has created 11,000km of roads since 2017.
Governs Kwame Agbodza has however refuted these assertions.
According to him, the claim that 11,000 kilometres of roads have been constructed is misleading.
He revealed that in reality, it is only 673 kilometres of roads that have been constructed since 2017.
Speaking during his vetting by the Appointments Committee on Monday, January 20, Kwame Agbodza detailed, “The claim that 11,000 kilometres of roads have been constructed is misleading. The reality is that, since 2017, only 673 kilometres of roads have been constructed”.
“This figure is based on the actual data and records of road projects completed during that period. It’s crucial for the public to be informed of the true extent of road construction efforts”, he added.
The Minister-designate added that road construction projects must be properly tracked and that the information provided to the public reflects reality.
“We need to ensure that road construction projects are properly tracked and that the information provided to the public reflects reality. If we want to move forward, we must start with honesty and integrity in reporting our achievements”, he added.
