The Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako-Attah, is lamenting that there are a lot of corrupt people and thieves in his Ministry.
He alleges that when these individuals, referred to asthieves, are sacked, those who are employed to replace them turn out to be worse.
Mr. Amoako-Atta made the remarks during an inspection tour of the ongoing VALCO roundabout and the Kpone road reconstruction project on Wednesday, August 23, 2023.
According to him, government officials, civil workers, and others are hell-bent on amassing so much wealth at whatever cost, even if it means jeopardising the country’s interests.
In a more recent video captured by GraphicOnline, Mr. Amoako-Attah said “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.
The Minister was also upset about freight vehicles that park their goods along many roads in Ghana.
He said some of these actions are going on as a result of the refusal and failure of elements in his ministry to arrest the culprits.
“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.
