According to Ato Forson in 2021 he has always said that the road tolls must be removed because the amount of revenue the government gets compared to the fuel burnt on the roads is not worthwhile.

Ato Forson stated in 2021, “I am not surprised, but something to cover what we are going to pay, and so they are giving something back, well the revenue lost will be about 72 million it is not that big, so I have always said that road tolls out there should be removed”.

“Because of the amount of money, in terms of fuel, that we burn on traffic as against the revenue the government gets, I don’t think it is worthwhile, I will say that it is something all of us are expecting it is right that they have taken the decision and I will commend them”, he detailed.

Appearing before the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Monday, January 13, 2025, Dr Forson revealed the NDC is committed to reintroducing the road tolls to generate revenue for road maintenance.

He added, “The NPP submitted a concession agreement to Parliament to reintroduce road tolls, but it was not laid”.

“We are not running away from this promise. We are a party that honours its commitments, and if road tolls are a means to raise revenue, we will implement them, if you use the road, you pay a toll. It is a standard practice worldwide. Ghana will not be the first or last country to adopt this”, Ato Forson stated emphatically.
