Speaking in an exclusive interview on Joy FM on Wednesday, January 28, Mr Agbodza said 34 per cent of roads are rated fair, while 22 per cent remain in poor condition.
“As of today, the road network characteristics say that the length of road within our inventory is 94,203. Out of that, 44 per cent is in good condition, 34 per cent is in a condition we call fair, and 22 per cent is in a condition we call poor,” he stated.
