Indexing government scandals one at a time
The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwesi Amoako Atta has threatened to terminate the contracts of road contractors who abuse and disrespect the President.
Addressing a gathering at Akwatia during the President’s tour of the Eastern Region, Mr. Amoako Atta, who was responding to some allegations made by a contractor on a Kumasi based radio station, said he will personally take the initiative to terminate, repackage and re-award contracts belonging to contractors found to have engaged in negative commentary.
“I don’t care if he insults just me but if he involves the President in issues involving my sector, I will not allow it. Any road contractor who will peddle falsehood and insult the President and it is proven; I will take steps to terminate that contract immediately”
Many contractors have been upset with the government over the delayed release of funds.
