The Ghana Chamber of the Construction Industry says the previous government left behind huge money problems. These money problems add up to GHS105 billion just for roads. Emmanuel Cherry runs the Chamber. He talked about this on Channel One Newsroom last Sunday. The first report during minister meetings showed GHS100 billion owed, with only GHS20- 25 billion available.
The 2025 budget shows the real number is GHS105 billion. This covers money for roads, bridges, and overhead structures. Many projects never start or remain unfinished. Contractors have already finished work worth GHS21 billion. The government needs to pay this money fast. Cherry wants contractors to receive their money right away.
This payment would help builders return to work sites. The Chamber leader made clear the urgency of the situation. He stressed how important these payments are for ongoing projects. The total amount represents a major challenge for the current administration. Road projects across Ghana depend on resolving this financial matter.
