The Minister for Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has dismissed claims by former Minister for Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, that the government’s payments to contractors under its major infrastructure drive, The Big Push project, are merely “audio money”.
Speaking on Metro TV on Friday, October 31, Mr Kwakye Ofosu said the Finance Minister, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, is releasing “real money” to ensure that projects under the initiative are adequately funded and completed on schedule.
“The suggestion that what the Finance Minister is releasing is ‘audio money’ is simply false,” Mr Kwakye Ofosu stated.
“Dr Ato Forson is ensuring that actual funds reach contractors across the country.
These are real disbursements for real work, not empty announcements as alleged by the former Minister.”
He explained that The Big Push project is central to the government’s agenda to transform Ghana’s infrastructure landscape through timely financing and accountability.
According to him, the initiative is delivering tangible progress in roads, schools, hospitals, and digital infrastructure.
“This administration is focused on visible, measurable results. Every cedi released under The Big Push is backed by verifiable work on the ground,” he emphasised.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu further urged the public to disregard political attempts to downplay the achievements of the current administration.
“The facts speak for themselves — contractors are being paid, projects are moving, and communities are benefiting. The Finance Minister is releasing real money, not ‘audio money’.
Ghanaians will see the evidence of this commitment in completed infrastructure nationwide,” he said.
