The past week has seen a rift between some road contractors and the government over payments for projects across the country.
The contractors have rejected a directive from the government asking them to return to project sites they abandoned due to delays in the release of funds.
It follows an announcement by the Roads Minister that the Finance Ministry had released some ¢800 million to be given to contractors whose payment was in arrears.
But National Vice Chairman of the Association of Road Contractors Ghana, Stephen Atatsi insists that no monies had been paid to any contractor.
Tonight, Benjamin Akakpo hosts stakeholders in the sector as they deliberate on the impasse.
