The Chief of Agric Nzema who doubles as a contractor Nana Nkansah Boadu Ayeboafo has alleged some contractors have to pay (Kick Back) monies to some personalities in the road sector before contracts will be awarded to them and even work to be commenced on the field.
He says such demands doesn’t auger well for a diligent job to be executed by the contractors.
He was speaking to Kofi Asante on GhanAkoma current affairs program on Akoma fm in Kumasi, he indicates that ,these officials will demand kick back or monies from contractors before even visiting site to inspect projects. Road contractors pass through unnecessary predicaments before a single contract is awarded to them.
“These people always expect you to give them some money before you can begin work or even to inspect your project is another problem.The work which is not yet started what money do want me to give it to you? Kofi Asante!you can do your own investigations to verify how frustrated Ghanaian contractors enduring now a days.You cannot demand such kick back from me , i don’t have some for you ,even can’t do and i won’t even talk to you”.
