It has emerged that the LEKMA road was approved for sole sourcing contract on 20th of June 2019 weeks before a media campaign to get the road fixed.
The road which had been given to three different contractors earlier all of who had failed to execute the project was repacked with a dedicated financing source from the beginning of 2019 and finally approved by the PUblic Procurement Agency for construction on the 20th Of June 2019.
PeaceFM's Yaw Obeng Manu was at the scene on Monday morning and reports that after a spirited campaign and whipping up of sentiments by members of the public and journalists alike for the abandoned road to be fixed, work has finally commenced.
On Sunday, Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, provided a chronology of all the steps taken on the road explained that the new contractors are mobilizing to head to site since PPA approval was received.

kudos joy fm the only way ghana can progress is throwing light on pressing issues.do you know how many contracts have been approved which have deliberately stalled sake of one greedy persons signature. thank you joyfm. thank you citifm. i encourage peacefm emulate the above. responsible /active journalism benefits the nation
When are these roads going to be constructed; Part of Suhum - Asamankese, Asamankese - Akroso, Akroso - Swedru, Akroso - Oda, Oda- Ofoase, New Abirem- Nkawkaw, New - Keda and Keda to Akwatia? What a clueless country.
In all this the political hands driving this is clearly seen. joy Fm knew long before they started that so called campaign that the road was about to be started. this tacky propagandist stunt is shameful. And by the way this particular road has been like this since the Atta Miils time and the residents did not mind inhaling red dust for all that time So why all the agitation now?It shall be well.
Yes a big big shame to Joy fm and Multimedia group. The Multimedia group knew processes had began and latest by August work would start. The processes take more than a month to be approved. It is only mischief that is at play. Shame again.
Why shame on joy fm? if it was approved in June, why the delay until joy started the campaign? also note that even if it was approved in June, starting the project in July was not automatic. it could have been started in 2020 even though it was approved in June, 2019. so please there is no need to shame anybody for doing public good. How about Peace online rather attempting to wane the impact of the campaign by Joy?
