Roads Minister Denies Mistreating Former Tollbooth Workers

The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako Atta, has refuted claims that his outfit has mistreated persons with disability who were formerly employed to man road tolls across the country.

His comment follows concerns raised by the Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak, concerning the treatment of the former workers.

This was after some former workers picketed the Roads Ministry to demand that they be reassigned just as the Finance Minister promised in 2021 when the road tolls were abolished.

Speaking in Parliament, Dr. Apaak demanded that Parliament holds the government to its promise.

Responding to the concerns, Kwesi Amoako Atta, said the workers were not being mistreated and that government is continuously working to meet the promise made to them.
