LARGE NUMBERS of the members of Association of Road Contractors were reported to have died out of hunger and frustrations following the persistence refusal of the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to settle debt owed the road constructors since 2018.
The Vice Chairman for the Association, Mr Stephen Atatsi who made this known in an interview with Akoma FM monitored by Soireenews.com revealed that most of their members are out of business and traumatized due to enormous financial burden on them as they took huge loans to execute government tasks (road projects).
"I am saying that “since 2018, government hasn’t paid a penny to us and he owes us millions of dollars. The amount is as a result of delayed payment and accumulation of interest on certificates locked up at the sector ministry," he added
Mr. Atatsi further lamented most of their members are hospitalized due to depression and frustration from persistent pressure from banks and other creditors.
He added that “some of the members are now living from hand to mouth because government has refused to pay huge amount of debt owed them. Some even cannot afford to buy their medical bills, so we are really going through a lot this is not fair”.
He expressed passionate grief about how unfairly government has been treating members of the Association of Road Contractors.
He appealed to government to, as matter of urgency come to their aid by paying up the four-year debt which is amounting to millions of dollars to salvage members of the Association and their families from excruciating situation they are faced with.
