Chief Executive Officer for the Public Sector Reforms, Thomas Kusi Boafo has expressed a fervent wish that the reintroduction of the road tolls will quadruple Ghana’s revenue.
Users of the Accra-Tema motorway can expect to start paying tolls again after the completion of expansion works on the road.
During the Mid-Year Budget Review, the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, said the completed road will be tolled to recover the whole cost.
The toll will also be to “pay lenders and provide a return for equity investors.”
The collection of road tolls nationwide was stopped as part of a policy announcement in the 2022 budget.
Appearing on Wontumi TV Morning Show on Tuesday Kusi Boafo disclosed that he didn’t consent to the cancellation of the road tolls in the 2022 budget.
He suggested that the government can use the road tolls to make road maintenance.
