Roads Minister orders contractors to keep working during official visits

He urged contractors to continue watering roads to control dust and protect residents and other road users, stressing that officials should be treated like ordinary members of the public.

Roads and Highways Minister, Governs Kwame Agbodza, said official inspections should not become a reason for contractors to suspend construction activities, insisting that government representatives must not receive special treatment at the expense of project timelines.

Road contractors have been directed to maintain their normal construction schedules whenever government officials or dignitaries project sites, unless continuing work could endanger people at the site.
