The Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has announced an ongoing review of all contracts signed by the ministry to assess their status and effectiveness.
According to the Adaklu MP, the review aims to distinguish between active and inactive contracts, ensuring better financial management.
Addressing Parliament, Agbodza stated: “We are currently undergoing an exercise at the Ministry to rationalize the portfolio to tell exactly whether every contract awarded is active.
“On record, some contracts are awarded, and the contractors never turned up on site, and every contract has a termination clause.
“If a contract is awarded and for two or three years the contractor never turned up on site, it is difficult to determine whether that is a valid contract.”
The minister emphasized that this process will help the government save money by identifying and addressing dormant contracts.
