Minority Caucus in Parliament is requesting details about the costs associated with road construction equipment purchased under the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP).

Launched on July 31, the DRIP aims to tackle road maintenance issues by partnering with Metropolitans, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) and supplying them with earth-moving machinery.

In a statement issued by Mahama Ayariga, Ranking Member of the Committee on Information and Communication, the Minority is invoking section 18 of the Rights to Information Act, 2019 (Act 989).

They are seeking information on the price of each piece of equipment bought for DRIP, the payment schedule, and the total amount paid for the equipment so far, among other details.
