The Association of Ghana Road Contractors has expressed gratitude to the government for its decision to review road tolls in the country.
According to the Chairman of the Association, John Ashford Afful, the policy which is yet to receive Parliament’s approval will increase the resources available for the road sector.
The Ministry of Finance Caretaker, during the 2021 Budget statement on Friday, disclosed government’s decision to revise the current road tolls and align them with present rates in the market.
Mr Osei-Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said: “Mr Speaker, to maintain the improvements on our roads, Government will review existing road tolls and align them with current market rates. This will form part of the framework for promoting burden-sharing as we seek to transform our road and infrastructure sector in a post-Covid era.”
