Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Kwasi Amoako-Attah, the Minister of Roads and Highways, is actively engaged in a significant effort to rectify issues within the roads sector.
Lately, the minister has been prominently seen publicly reprimanding individuals involved in activities that undermine the integrity of his sector, leading to road-related challenges.
In a recent incident, he confronted and apprehended illegal miners whose actions near a mine site were causing traffic congestion and muddying the tarred road in Akrofufu, situated in the Atiwa West District of the Western region.
In a more recent video shared by Graphic, Mr. Amoako-Attah criticized some personnel and members of his ministry, labeling them as corrupt and dishonest.
He pointed out that these individuals prioritize their personal gain over the nation’s interests, resulting in their failure to uphold proper practices consistently.
“There are a lot of corrupt people, there are a lot of thieves in my ministry. You sack them, you employ new ones, and when they come, the new ones are even worse than the old ones that you sacked, what kind of country are we building for ourselves?
“I don’t know what people want, we will die and leave everything behind. All of us, those who came before us are all gone. We heard the big names, people with money and wealth, where are they? Look at what we are seeing and we are citizens of this country,” he said.
Clearly agitated by the sight of cargo vehicles parked along various roads in Ghana, the minister highlighted that such actions persist due to the negligence and reluctance of certain members within his ministry to apprehend wrongdoers and implement appropriate penalties.
“And these drivers, what they cannot do in their country, they do it here with impunity because people choose money over protecting the roads.
“We have people in my own ministry involved. We have fought these wars for years and we don’t seem to win,” he added.
