President John Dramani Mahama, has promised swift payment to contractors working on the government’s Big Push infrastructure programme, provided they meet required standards and finish work on time.
Speaking on Saturday, June 27, 2026, during his Resetting Ghana Tour in the Central Region, the President said the government already has funds set aside to pay certified projects and that contractors should not expect long delays after submitting completion certificates.
He noted that the Minister for Finance, Cassiel Ato Forson, has made finances available to pay contractors who will be able to complete their contracts.
“We have the funds available. It is not the case that we are now looking for the money to pay those who are done, Ato Forson has ensured that finances are made available, so any contractor who is able to produce the completion certificate, in about two weeks or less, you will receive your money," he stated.
After inspecting several road works in the region, the President praised the speed of progress and warned that contractors’ performance in this phase will influence selection for the next.
“I have told the contractors under the Big Push Programme that we have a second phase of that programme, and so whoever is able to complete his road well and on time will be considered for the second phase,” he said.
