The minister of roads and highways:he Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has warned the public against individuals claiming to be selling government road contracts under the flagship Big Push programme, urging anyone who encounters such persons to report them to the police.
According to Ghana Web, in a post on X, the minister cautioned Ghanaians against falling victim to fraudsters who allegedly claim to have access to contracts under the initiative and offer them in exchange for payment. Agbodza emphasized the importance of reporting such fraudulent activities to the authorities.
Agbodza's warning comes in response to reports of attempts by some individuals to exploit the government's road infrastructure programme by falsely presenting themselves as having the authority to award contracts. The Minister made it clear that these projects are being implemented through official processes and are not available for sale.
The Minister reaffirmed the government's commitment to transparency and accountability in the execution of the Big Push programme. He urged the public to assist authorities by providing information on anyone involved in fraudulent activities for investigation and possible prosecution.
