Beginning Tuesday, November 12, workers of the Ghana Highway Authority will embark on an indefinite strike, disrupting road infrastructure projects and other critical administrative works currently under construction.
The strike is a response to the government’s refusal to suspend the National Roads Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1118), which has sparked controversy. Central to the workers’ grievances is the call for the removal of two key figures: Ing. I.K. Mensah, Chairman of the Ghana Highway Authority Board, and Ing. Collins B. Donkor, Chief Executive Officer of the National Roads Authority.
The workers accuse these officials of making decisions that compromise the integrity of the roads sector.
This action follows a formal petition to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, in which workers requested more extensive consultations before the implementation of the new Act.
