President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Ministry of Finance to release GH¢1 billion to contractors who have been owed payments by the state since 2017.

The directive was issued during a sod-cutting ceremony for the Sunyani–Atronie–Acherensua Road Project in the Bono Region on Sunday, December 21, 2025.

“I have directed the Finance Minister, Dr Ato Forson, to release GH¢1 billion to settle debts owed to contractors since 2017 before Christmas.

All the contractors will be paid, and the families of deceased contractors should also follow to receive the money,” President Mahama said.

He further encouraged contractors to submit their documents promptly to ensure timely payment.
