The Minister of Roads and Highways Kwasi Amoako-Atta has hinted that the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus in China has affected major activities in relation to the various projects funded by the Sinohydro deal.
According to the Minister, officials from China could not travel to Ghana to perform their roles in relation to the deal.
Speaking at Koforidua in the Eastern Region, the Minister stated that the outbreak has not affected the facility itself and that the Chinese government has communicated their full assurance that the projects will continue.
He assured that very soon arrangements will be in place to cut the sod for the other six projects under the first phase of the project.
The Minister has meanwhile urged Directors of the Department of urban roads and Ghana Highway Authority to ensure that ongoing projects are completed on time.
