This follows the scrapping of toll collection across the country.

In the wake of the passage of the Electronic Transactions Bill (E-Levy) in 2022, government cancelled the collection of road tolls banking their hopes on raising needed revenue through the levy.

At the time, Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, insisted that scrapping the tolls needed to be done by parliament not the minister but government officials defended the move. 

Months on, the transport minister disclosed plans to turn the abandoned toll booths across the country into places of convenience which could fetch the state additional revenue.
