Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako-Attah, has 23rd October 2023, requested the Executive Director of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) to fully investigate the allegations of bribery in the award of contracts.<\/b><\/p>\n

Former Rector of the Ghana Institue of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) Professor Stephen Adei alleged in an interview with TV3 that he has information to the effect that persons seeking road contracts are told: \u201cRoad contracts will be given to you, provided you pay 1 million upfront….\u201d<\/p>\n

Prof Adei said \u201cOne of the greatest disappointments of Nana Akufo-Addo\u2019s regime is that honestly, he raised the hope of Ghanaians. Ghanaians expected they have gotten a leader with a vision, with the charisma, with the determination and it seems if he doesn\u2019t redeem himself in the next 14 months, he would go down in history as one of the most disappointing leaders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added \u201cThis road contract would be given to you, provided you put one million upfront, not after you have gotten the money. This is what Akufo-Addo must be thinking about and if he knows about it, he must be ashamed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat now his people demand from you a certain amount before you would be considered for a job. Why? Because when they get it, whether the government pays you or not they have gotten their money. It is as if people are in a hurry to loot the country before the end of Akufo-Addo\u2019s term.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Roads Ministry, these allegations are surprising at the least because the processes leading to the award of road contracts are open, transparent, competitive and in accordance with the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that the alleged conduct borders on the commission of crime against the Republic, the Minister of Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwasi Amoako-Attah, has 23rd October 2023, requested the Executive Director of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) to fully investigate the allegations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ministry wishes to assure the public that it shall cooperate fully and support EOCO in the conduct of its investigation,\u201d a statement issued by the Ministry on Monday October 23 said.<\/p>\n
