Isaac Adjei Mensah"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Chairman of Parliament\u2019s Roads and Transport Committee and Member of Parliament for Wassa East, Hon. Isaac Adjei Mensah, has assured Ghanaians that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, is committed to an unprecedented transformation of the country\u2019s road infrastructure through its ambitious \u201cBig Push\u201d agenda<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive interview with <strong>ExpressNewsGhana,<\/strong> Hon. Adjei Mensah stated that the \u201cBig Push\u201d represents a bold and pragmatic step toward economic transformation through infrastructure development, particularly in the road sector.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the program offers a clear, verifiable roadmap, unlike previous road development strategies, and is backed by substantial budgetary allocation.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cThis is not rhetoric. It is an actionable and well-resourced plan. In 2025 alone, GHS 18.8 billion has been allocated for road infrastructure under the Big Push. That shows the seriousness of the Mahama administration in resolving Ghana\u2019s road challenges,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Unveiling the Truth behind Road Construction Claims<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hon. Adjei Mensah also challenged claims by the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration that it constructed over 13,000 kilometers of roads, describing them as \u201cunsubstantiated projections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we found in the records of the Ministry of Roads and Highways was that most of those figures were projections, not verified constructions. At the end of the NPP\u2019s tenure in 2024, only 6,977 kilometers had been validated as constructed roads,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>He further clarified that most of the supposed works were routine gravel road maintenance or annual grading, which should not be classified as new road construction.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21623\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21623\" style=\"width: 738px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21623\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/HON-ADJEI-MENSAH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"738\" height=\"564\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21623\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">HON ISAAC ADJEI MENSAH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He insisted that true road construction must involve bitumenized or asphalt-paved surfaces that meet engineering standards and last over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Clear, Comprehensive, and Targeted Road Agenda <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Big Push, he explained, is being rolled out with comprehensive data collection, field assessments, and identification of critical roads across the country. So far, 33 major road projects have been selected for immediate execution, in addition to 13 previously initiated projects that stalled under the \u201cYear of Roads\u201d initiative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlike the \u2018Year of Roads,\u2019 which lacked clarity and accountability, the Big Push is structured. It is data-driven, budget-backed, and timeline-based. All road projects under this program are verifiable, and resources have been equitably allocated,\u201d Hon. Mensah said.<\/p>\n<p>He disclosed that four major bypass roads, including the Accra-Kumasi highway and critical link roads in Kumasi and Accra, have been identified for urgent attention. The government also aims to rehabilitate key corridors, such as the Eastern, Western, and Central corridors, and build resilient urban and feeder roads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Electronic Road Tolls and Road Maintenance Fund <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The MP confirmed the reintroduction of road tolls using advanced electronic tolling systems, eliminating manual collection to enhance transparency and maximize revenue for maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that proceeds from tolls, fuel levies, and other sources would be channelled into the newly established Road Maintenance Trust Fund, which was passed into law to guarantee sustainable funding for routine and periodic road maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Mahama is determined to leave a legacy of a robust and internationally comparable road network. Maintenance is critical, and this fund will ensure we don\u2019t build roads only to let them deteriorate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2517\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.21019728.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.21019728.jpg 800w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.21019728-600x342.jpg 600w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.21019728-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/1.21019728-768x438.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Community-Focused Development and Local Contractor Involvement <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As part of the Big Push, 106 districts across Ghana have been earmarked for local road improvement projects.<\/p>\n<p>Each of these constituencies is expected to receive 10 kilometers of paved roads annually, with a focus on asphalt and bitumenized surfaces, not just gravel.<\/p>\n<p>On contractor engagement, Hon. Mensah indicated that while Parliament does not directly supervise contractors, the Ministry of Roads and Highways is well-equipped with local engineers and consultants to ensure project quality and durability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time, engineers will be empowered and trained where necessary to uphold standards. We are ensuring that road works meet KPIs\u2014clarity, timelines, and value for money,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strengthened Oversight and Accountability <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Chair of the Roads and Transport Committee, Hon. Mensah assured the public of rigorous parliamentary oversight, stressing that site visits, contractor engagements, and media transparency will be integral to enforcing accountability and quality assurance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe take our oversight role seriously. We\u2019ll track every cedi spent, and every kilometer constructed to ensure quality and value. The Big Push is measurable, results-oriented, and designed to uplift Ghana\u2019s economy through infrastructure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The committee will also prioritize oversight of railway and inland water transport development to reduce pressure on roads and preserve road quality.<\/p>\n<p>Hon. Isaac Adjei Mensah affirmed that the Big Push initiative is the most ambitious and structured road infrastructure program in Ghana\u2019s history, one that is set to transform communities, boost trade, and significantly improve lives across the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16888\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ROADS.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"800\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12094\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/roads-saboba.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/roads-saboba.jpg 480w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/roads-saboba-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/roads-saboba-250x248.jpg 250w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/roads-saboba-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: Felix Nyaaba\/expressnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chairman of Parliament\u2019s Roads and Transport Committee and Member of Parliament for Wassa East, Hon.
