Speaking at the 9th Ghana CEO Summit and Awards Expo Mahama addressed the reintroduction of road tolls, stating that drivers will no longer have to sit in traffic to make payments.

Instead, vehicles will be linked to their owners’ Ghana Cards, allowing the government to track them and collect tolls via mobile money or bank transactions. fu

He further assured that the toll will be minimal, with drivers expected to pay just 1 cedi.

John Mahama stated, “Every car is linked to the owner’s Ghana Card, so we don’t need the old toll booths anymore.

If you cross the East Legon bridge, we simply take a picture of your car, and the system will automatically send the toll charge to your mobile money or bank account. You’ll just pay 1 cedi”, he added.

Meanwhile, the Mahama government some months ago announced Road and Bridge tolls will soon return to Ghana to generate revenue for road maintenance and related matters, a statement from the Ministry of Roads and Highways has announced.

According to the ministry, the reintroduction would help address the funding challenges currently faced by the country’s road infrastructure.

The ministry in a statement indicated that it is developing a modern, technologically-driven toll collection system to ensure a smooth and efficient process.

“To this end, the ministry is putting together the modalities for a modern, technologically-driven toll collection system”.

The statement added, “To achieve this objective, the ministry will employ an open, transparent, competitive, cost-effective and fair procurement process”.

The Ministry has assured the public that the new system will address the current tolling and road maintenance funding challenges in the country.
