Ranking member for the Transport Committee of Parliament, Governs Agbodza has stated categorically that the ruling NPP government does not care about Ghanaians and is very focused on how they will win the 2024 general elections.
To Mr. Agbodza, the ruling NPP government has failed Ghanaians with their numerous promises which have yielded nothing in the country,
According to him, the major roads in the country will go a long way to reduce the many accidents leading to the loss of many lives daily.
His reactions come three different accidents that claimed 19 lives on the Kasoa-Winneba road and in the Eastern region with some 15 people sustaining injuries.
Speaking in an interview with an Accra-based radio station, Mr. Agbodza said, “While they keep touting the year of roads, the reality is that nothing has been done. In my estimation, we owe road contractors over GHC8bn, so how are we going to improve the physical conditions of our roads?. We can’t dualize all our roads in the shortest possible time so we have to prioritize which ones we can do first.
“From where I sit and our kitty I don’t think this gov’t is interested in dualizing our highways. They’re interested in doing things that will make them win the next election. You owe contractors, you’ve not paid them yet you take money from the road fund for consumption”. He said.
