Techiman (B/A), Jan. 18, GNA – Delays in the payment of Interim Payment Certificates (IPCs) by the government is seriously affecting rehabilitation works on the Techiman-Kintampo trunk road in Brong-Ahafo, Mr. William Owusu-Banahene, resident engineer, said on Tuesday.
He said for the past two years the government had failed to contribute its 20 per cent share of the rehabilitation of the 60-kilometer trunk road being constructed at the cost of billions of Ghana Cedis.
Mr. Owusu-Banahene said this when he briefed Mr. Kwadwo Nyamekye-Marfo, Brong Regional Minister, on the progress of work on the road after the Minister had undertaken an inspection of the project.
The rehabilitation work on the road was awarded to Messrs Shinsung Engineering and Construction Company Limited of Korea in 2008.
