Road contractor applauds Mahama administration's prompt payment of Big Push firms
Joseph Arthur expressed gratitude to President Mahama for clearing debts owed to contractors completing Big Push-of-Africa projects without delay
Contractor Joseph Arthur has publicly praised President John Mahama for settling what he describes as long-overdue payments to firms executing Government's Big Push projects within Ghana.
Speaking at a recent ceremony in Kumasi, Arthur highlighted how the swift settlement of certificates issued for completed works demonstrated the administration's respect for contractors' dedication to national development.
The remarks come amid persistent complaints from construction companies about delayed payments that have crippled operations across the sector for years.
While Arthur specifically cited the Ministry of Roads and Highways for its integrity in processing these payments, the statement reflects broader industry sentiment regarding improved financial transparency.
The President's alleged intervention marks a notable shift in contractor-government relations during this electoral cycle.
However, the details surrounding the specific projects referenced remain unspecified in official communications.
Ongoing monitoring is required to verify whether this payment pattern extends beyond isolated cases.
