Flower Pot Interchange: Explain how a GH¢69m project shot up to GH¢700m – Minority to gov’t

The Minority in Parliament has raised concerns over the drastic increase in the cost of the Flower Pot Interchange project in Accra.

Originally awarded in 2016 for GH¢69.5 million, the project’s price has escalated to nearly GH¢700 million, with the final cost expected to approach GH¢1 billion.

Governs Kwame Agbodza, Minority Chief Whip, has called for transparency and a clear explanation from the government, questioning if factors like exchange rates or changes in the project scope are to blame.

He urged President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Bawumia to address the rising costs and provide accountability as the project nears completion.
