The Minority in Parliament has called on the government to publish a detailed breakdown of the reported GH¢10.92 billion expenditure on the Accra-Kumasi Expressway project.
The call was made by Akim Swedru MP, Kennedy Osei Nyarko, who raised concerns after figures in the 2025 Audited Annual Whole of Government Accounts published by the Auditor-General showed that GH¢10,916,912,468.56 was spent under government’s Priority Programmes on the expressway.
In a statement issued on Thursday, July 16, the Minority said the amount requires further explanation, especially since only 89.5 kilometres representing 50.9% of the proposed right-of-way for the Accra-Kumasi Expressway Corridor had been cleared by the Ghana Armed Forces as of June 25, 2026.
The Minority stressed that government must provide a comprehensive expenditure report detailing how the funds were utilised.
“We respectfully call on the Government, through the Ministry of Roads and Highways, the Ministry of Finance, and all implementing agencies, to publish a detailed expenditure report showing exactly how the GH¢10,916,912,468.56 was spent,” portions of the statement read.
The Minority emphasised that infrastructure projects are funded with taxpayers’ money and citizens have a right to know how public resources are being used.
It added that “providing this information will strengthen public confidence, enhance fiscal transparency, and demonstrate government’s commitment to accountability in the execution of major national infrastructure projects.”
