The Accra-Kumasi Bypass project is under scrutiny due to a consultant’s absence, according to Adom Online. The Minister for Roads and Highways issued a directive demanding an explanation from ADK, the construction firm supervising the project. Mr. Agbodza stated that the consultant’s absence signifies potential issues concerning monitoring and certification procedures for completed works. The Ministry indicated that contractors are accountable for quality, with consultants also having a duty to report progress to authorities. The government employs private consulting firms for public infrastructure management, emphasizing that contracts must include active presence and regular updates to the Ministry. The Minister warned of potential contract loss if the consultant fails to provide a justification for its absence; subsequent replacement by the Ghana Highway Authority is a possibility.”,
