The Ministry of Roads and Highways has said allegations and conclusions by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus in Parliament, with regard to the Accra-Tema Motorway expansion contract, “do not represent the accurate status of the contract.”
This follows assertions by the NDC in Parliament, at a press conference held on Wednesday, 13 January 2020, that the contract will only serve the interest of government officials.
The NDC caucus, therefore, proposed that the USD570 million contract which was signed between the Government of Ghana and Mota-Engil Engenharia E Construcao Africa S.A. be abrogated in order to protect the public purse.

The Ministry of Roads and Highways has called on all stakeholders to support the Accra-Tema Motorway expansion project.
It said the motorway, which was constructed in 1964, had exceeded its design life span. It added that the scope of the expansion project included the enlargement of the lanes, new interchanges and remodelling of the Tetteh Quashie Interchange to remove traffic bottlenecks on the corridor.
A statement signed and issued by the former Minister of Roads and Highways, Mr Kwasi Amoako-Attah, explained that between 2017 and 2020 the government undertook a transparent and competitive process using Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements to select a contractor.
