"I am being urged to pay contractors, I am paying them. Last year some GH¢1.6 billion was paid to them. This year too, payments have started and we will pay them. We have found out some of the contracts were inflated while others were not existent.
"In January this year, we have disbursed 125 million out of the reminder of 600 million to the contractors.
"Additionally, we have paid 826 million of 1.2 billion loan contracted by the previous administration for which the Road Funds was used as a collateral. It is important to note that all these debts were accrued under the previous administration," he said.
