ACCRA, Ghana – Minister for Roads and Highways Kwame Governs Agbodza has voiced strong disapproval regarding the failure of some foreign road construction firms to routinely address potholes during ongoing major projects, despite provisions being made for such maintenance.
The Minister specifically criticized German construction firm Inzag for its inaction on sections of the Ashaiman roundabout Akosombo project. Agbodza stated he had personally implored Inzag twice to patch potholes on the road, yet no action was taken.
In contrast, the Minister lauded Ghanaian firms for their proactive approach. Oswal Investment Limited was commended for undertaking pothole repairs on the Ashaiman-Afienya road at an additional cost, filling the void left by the German company. Similarly, First Sky Group, another Ghanaian firm, carried out repairs on the Tema Motorway-Dawhenya road at the Minister’s direction.
