The Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has tasked Greenhouse International Development Ghana to complete 15 kilometres of outstanding works on the Have-Hohoe Road by the end of December. The Minister issued the deadline during an inspection of roads along the Eastern Corridor, where he raised concerns about the slow pace of construction on the project. He said the company has the capacity to deliver on schedule but has failed to commit adequate resources to the work.
Hon. Agbodza said the slow progress was largely due to the company’s beneficial owners, whom he urged to provide the needed financial support to speed up construction. “I know the problem is not your problem. The problem is the beneficial owners of Greenhouse, and I’m asking Greenhouse to invest more in this project,” he said. He insisted that completing 15 kilometres of the remaining 27-kilometre stretch by December was achievable if the contractor committed more resources.
The Minister also urged contractors working along the Eastern Corridor to intensify efforts to improve traffic flow ahead of the Christmas festivities. He said the immediate priority was to create additional road capacity to handle increased traffic during the festive season and reduce delays for motorists, stressing that commuters should not spend several hours in traffic while travelling to celebrate Christmas with their families. He appealed to motorists to avoid driving back onto sections cleared for construction, warning that it could disrupt ongoing works, and assured road users that construction would continue on the cleared sections.
