Construction Chamber chastises stubborn contractors slowing down ongoing payment process

The Ghana Chamber of Construction Industry has depicted as appalling the reluctance of certain project workers to profit themselves to be paid by the public authority.

Right now, the chamber says contracts worth up to GHC 1 million that are falling behind financially are being paid by the public authority.

This comes following quite a while of approaching the public authority to settle obligations owed its individuals as far back as 2016

A couple of months back, the Minister of Roads and Highways, reported uninvolved of the introduction of the Road Fund Board, that the Ministry of Finance planned to deliver GHS 800 million to settle obligations owed street project workers specifically.

In a meeting with Citi Business news on the continuous installments, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Construction Industry, Emmanuel Cherry, approached the public authority to factor in projects that are esteemed at over a GHS 1 million as more agreements fall inside that reach.

Mr Cherry anyway communicated dissatisfaction in certain workers for hire that are not profiting themselves to be paid

“The test is a portion of the workers for hire are to be faulted for the lethargic speed of installment. You’ve weeped for installment, presently the chance has introduced itself for you to go to Fidelity Bank to sign the reimbursement proviso, to guarantee they process your installment and pay you likewise. However, as we talk now various project workers have not visited the bank to go through the required cycles to be paid. This makes it hard for the bank to impact installment.”

“This one isn’t the shortcoming of government or the bank. It’s the issue of the workers for hire attempting to be obstinate. Assuming that they are in the framework then they ought to go to the bank and go through the cycle to get their monies paid to them,” he added
