加纳 John Dramani Mahama 总统已指示财政部拨付 10 亿塞地，用于偿还自 2017 年以来政府拖欠承包商的款项，并计划在圣诞节前完成支付。

近日，马哈马在博诺地区 Sunyani-Atronie-Acherensua 道路项目的开工仪式上宣布了这一决定。该项目属于 "大推进" 基础设施计划的一部分。

"我已指示财政部长 Ato Forson 博士在圣诞节前拨付 10 亿塞地，用于清偿 2017 年以来拖欠承包商的债务。所有承包商都将获得付款，已故承包商的家属也应跟进领取款项。" 总统表示。

Mahama 总统指出，政府正在进行审计以核实未结清款项，并特别关注前政府时期已完成验收的工程项目。他敦促承包商尽快提交必要文件以加快付款流程。

"我敦促承包商们抓紧提交验收证书来领取款项。如果你们懈怠，付款自然会延迟。" 总统强调。

总统还向承包商保证，"大推进" 计划已预留专项资金，用于支持全国范围内停滞基础设施项目的复工和竣工。

出席活动的酋长（Dormaahene），Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr Nana Freduah Agyemang Badu II 酋长对该道路项目表示欢迎，同时呼吁加强监管确保工程质量。"我恳请承包商们杜绝偷工减料行为。" 他警示道。

Mahama 总统将该道路项目称为推动博诺地区发展的重要举措，重申政府决心在重启全国废弃项目的同时，彻底清理长期拖欠承包商的债务。

Mahama Directs Release of GH¢1bn to Contractors Owed since 2017

President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Ministry of Finance to release GH¢1 billion to pay contractors who have been owed by the state since 2017, with the disbursement expected to be completed before Christmas.

The President made the announcement on Sunday, December 21, at the sod-cutting ceremony for the Sunyani–Atronie–Acherensua Road Project in the Bono Region, which is being executed under the Big Push infrastructure initiative.

“I have directed the Finance Minister, Dr Ato Forson, to release GH¢1 billion to settle debts owed to contractors since 2017 before Christmas. All the contractors will be paid, and the deceased families should follow up to receive the money,” he said.

President Mahama noted that the government is currently undertaking audits to verify outstanding claims, adding that attention is being given to certified works carried out in previous years, particularly under the former administration.

He urged contractors to act swiftly in submitting the necessary documentation to facilitate payment.

“I want to urge contractors to hurry up with their certificates to receive your money. Your money will only be delayed if you are lazy,” the President stated.

He further assured contractors that resources have been set aside under the Big Push programme to support the resumption and completion of stalled infrastructure projects across the country.

Also speaking at the event, the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr Nana Freduah Agyemang Badu II, welcomed the road project and appealed for strict supervision to ensure quality workmanship.

“I’m pleading with contractors to desist from shoddy work,” he cautioned.

President Mahama described the Sunyani–Atronie–Acherensua Road Project as a significant boost for development in the Bono Region and reaffirmed the government’s resolve to clear long-standing arrears owed to contractors while reviving abandoned projects nationwide.
