Ghana Stops Plans for New Roads Agency.

The Roads Ministry put a hold on a new law that would have merged all road offices into one group. The National Roads Authority Act from July 2024 aimed to simplify road work.

The plan would have put the Highway Authority, Urban Roads, and Feeder Roads under one roof. The Ministry's spokesman, Nasir Ahmad Yartey, said they stopped because groups raised worries about the changes.

"We want to hear from more people about this," Yartey said. The Ministry promised to keep improving roads, even with this delay.

The law, known as Act 1118, was meant to fix many road problems, including poor teamwork between offices and slow road fixes. The new office would have watched over main roads, city streets, and small-town paths.

The Ministry plans to talk with more groups about their concerns. They want to make sure the changes help everyone. Road workers and users will have a chance to share their thoughts.

The pause shows how the government listens to people's worries. The Ministry said they will keep working to make roads safer and better for all.
