The Ministry of Roads and Highways recently announced that consultations with key stakeholders have begun to finalize the reinstatement of road tolls, a measure aimed at funding repairs for the country’s deteriorating roads.
Speaking to journalists in Accra on Wednesday, Minority Chief Whip Governs Agbodza condemned the government’s decision, arguing that it reflects a lack of seriousness and proper governance.
He stated that the NPP’s record of being straight and fair to Ghanaians has been called into question so many times
He added that there was no need to suspend the collection of tolls.
That is quite an interesting position by the current road minister. Was he not part of the cabinet when the decision was made to suspend the collection of tolls? When Mr. Speaker and all of us pointed out that this action was illegal, they told Mr. Speaker to go to the toll booth to collect the toll himself if he liked. This is just a testament to a government that is misguided, out of touch, and unsure of what it wants.
