The government has committed GH¢15 billion toward the completion of 23 stalled development projects across the country, according to the Member of Parliament for South Tongu, Kwame Dzudzorli Gakpey.
Speaking during parliamentary deliberations on national development priorities, the MP disclosed that the allocation forms part of a broader government strategy to revive abandoned or delayed projects that have remained incomplete for several years due to funding constraints and contractual challenges.
Mr. Gakpey said the projects span several critical sectors including roads, health, education, and water infrastructure. He noted that completing these projects would help improve public service delivery and ensure that resources already invested in them do not go to waste.
According to him, many of the stalled projects had reached advanced stages of completion but were halted due to financial difficulties and administrative bottlenecks. The new funding commitment, he explained, is expected to allow contractors to return to site and accelerate work.
He stressed that finishing the projects will not only provide essential services to communities but also create jobs and stimulate economic activity in various parts of the country.
“The government has made provision of about GH¢15 billion to ensure that these 23 projects that have stalled for some time are completed,” he said. “It is important that we protect the investments already made by ensuring that these projects are brought to completion.”
Mr. Gakpey further urged the government to ensure transparency and strict monitoring in the disbursement of the funds to avoid further delays.
He also called for regular updates to Parliament on the progress of the projects to guarantee accountability and value for money.
The MP emphasised that completing long-delayed infrastructure projects is essential to restoring public confidence and ensuring that communities benefit from development initiatives that were promised to them.
