Roads and Highways Minister designate has raised questions on how contracts are awarded in the road sector.
He is of the view that a review will be needed if he is approved to lead the Ministry.
“We need to sit up and meet with stakeholders, contractors and awarding agencies on the issues. The way we award contracts in problematic,” he said.
He noted that a huge chunck of Ghana’s Road sector debt is a result of interests on contracts and therefore something needs to be done about it.
He intends sitting with the Finance Minister to discuss ways in which such contractural issues will be dealt with going forward to avoid payment of huge interests.
“As of today the NPP is leaving a minimum debt of 100 billion ghana cedis commitment,” he said.
“Whatever solution we have, we still owe, and we have to pay that is why I say I will meet with the Minister.
“If approved I will sit with the Finance Minister to see how we can deal with, this is money being wasted.
