The Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako-Attah says Parliament should constitute a special committee to investigate claims that President Akufo-Addo that his regime has built most roads in the 4th Republic.

This, according to the Minister, who was debating the State of the Nation Address, will prove that the President did not lie.

His suggestion was necessitated by an assertion by the Minority that the President’s claims are erroneous.

Mr. Amoako-Attah, therefore, suggested to the House “to set up an independent bi-partisan committee to investigate at my Ministry the facts of the data …the President under his leadership has done more work in the road sector.”

“I would like to state categorically that this government has built more roads than any government in the history of the 4^th Republic,” Mr Amoako-Attah reiterated.

He added that the details of the roads constructed under President Akufo-Addo’s administration are backed by empirical data which is available at the Ministry of Roads and Highways.

“Mr Speaker, this statement made by Mr President was factual, credible, the statement was dependable, the statement was incontestable, undisputed and above all, the statement is very viable to anybody who cares,” he declared.

The Minority accepted the suggestion for a bi-partisan probe from the Roads Minister

The Minority Chief Whip and Ranking Member on the Roads and Transport Committee, Governs Kwame Agbodza, stated that “he believes many people in the country doubt the data he provided so he is offering that you direct the House to set up a bi-partisan committee to investigate and verify the claim he has made.

“Would I plead with you now to direct that we set up a committee since he [Roads Minister] knows that we [Minority] doubt his information?,” he said.
