Kwame Gorvens Agbodza is the Minister of Roads and Highways
Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Gorvens Agbodza, has laid the blame for the stalled Suame Interchange project at the doorstep of his predecessor, Francis Asenso-Boakye.
Agbodza contends that the ongoing controversy over the project’s scope would be non-existent had the previous administration fulfilled former President Akufo-Addo’s public promise to complete and commission the facility by the end of 2024.
Speaking to journalists on Monday, February 9, 2026, Agbodza said the current issue surrounding the state of the project would not have arisen if the erstwhile Akufo-Addo government had fulfilled its commitment to Ghanaians.
His comment was in response to claims by the Ashanti Caucus of the Minority in Parliament that the Suame Interchange project has been downgraded from its original four-tier design to a two-tier facility.

According to the minister, former President Nana Akufo-Addo publicly declared that the interchange would be completed and handed over by the close of 2024.
He argued that the delays occurred under the previous administration and should not be attributed to the current government.
“Former President Akufo-Addo declared that by the end of 2024, the Suame Interchange project would have been completed and handed over,” Agbodza stated.
“If Asenso-Boakye had followed Akufo-Addo’s plan, we wouldn’t even be discussing whether it should be three-tier or four-tier now. This delay is due to his failure and the previous government’s failure to deliver. We are committed to completing the project for the good people of Kumasi,” he added.
Agbodza assured that the government remains focused on delivering the project and addressing traffic congestion in Kumasi, stressing that the administration is determined to see the interchange completed in the interest of residents and road users.
