Kwame Agbodza, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Adaklu, has criticized President Akufo-Addo’s decision to cancel road tolls, calling it illegal. Agbodza, who is a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), argues that the cancellation of the tolls was unconstitutional because it lacked the necessary legislative process and approval from Parliament.
The road tolls were initially implemented to help fund road maintenance and infrastructure projects, and the decision to cancel them raised concerns about the potential financial impact on road maintenance and development. Agbodza’s remarks highlight the legal and procedural issues surrounding the President’s directive, suggesting that such a decision should have been passed through Parliament in accordance with the law.
This statement comes amid broader debates in Ghana regarding government spending and policy implementation.
