Founder and leader of the Alabaster International Ministry, Prophet Kofi Oduro, has criticized the Ministry of Roads and Highways for its approach to renovating the Tema Motorway.

In a viral video addressing his congregation, Prophet Oduro expressed astonishment at the ministry's choice to repair the Tema Motorway, a concrete road, with asphalt.

He stated that this decision reflects a significant lack of competence within the ministry, as it is widely understood that materials used in road construction should also be used for repairs.

“… I spoke about the Tema Motorway last week and I’m going to do it again. Can you patch a concrete road with asphalt? Even if you are stupid, can’t you use the same material that was used for the construction of the road must be used to patch it?

“You have a whole institution for roads and highways. Where are the engineers? …. Concrete roads have expiry dates. When the expiry dates are due you need to strip the surface and do an overlay on it again,” he said.

The pastor accused government officials of being only interested in living lavishly.

“They only know how to bus houses for girls and boast because they have become successful because of cheap money,” he said.
