TESTIMONIAL FOR SANAM CONSTRUCTION CO LTD. ————————————— SANAM CONST is one of the firms awarded Big Push road works. 1. Presently, the quality of work being undertaken by SANAM on the Todome-Toh-Kpalime-Tongor-Dzemeni road in South Dayi absolutely remarkable. The 16km Todome-Toh stretch has never been engineered the way SANAM is presently doing. 2. The evidence of the quality works I see on the ground on monitoring is totally different from what the 4th estate is alleging. 3. SANAM has employed over 50youths in South Dayi alone to work on this project. He came to South Dayi with a workforce consisting of hordes of Engineers, Surveyors, Technicians, Accounts officers, Drivers etc 4. SANAM is delivering the project even ahead of schedule. Certainly what’s happening cannot be the work of a 4 man staff of the company. I suspect a clerical error in the statement of workforce of SANAM Construction firm for his tipper trucks alone are over. 100. 5. In any case, everything must boil down to the legality or otherwise of any public or private action. So the 4th estate must tell exactly which law has been breached & how. Fotos below show 6months progress of work by Sanam Construction firm in my beloved South Dayi👇 This is not a sky train……it is real

SETTING THE RECORDS STRAIGHT ON THE BIG PUSH ALLEGATIONS —————————————— ISSUE 1: Claims that 81% of Big Push contracts were sole sourced with 107 Projects Response: The claim is inaccurate and false. The total number of Big Push projects is 54, not 107. Indeed, 23 of these projects were inherited from the immediate past Npp govt, all of which were sole sourced with no funding source prior to this administration. Out of the 54 Big Push projects: i. 7 were awarded through restricted tendering, and ii. 47 were sole sourced In effect, only 44% of Big Push projects were sole sourced. However, approximately 98% of ALL road projects awarded under the previous NPP admin were sole sourced. ISSUE 2: Propriety of procurement methods used Response: The procurement methods adopted were justified by prevailing circumstances. On average, road projects take up to 36 months to complete. Government was confronted with: i. urgent national security concerns ii. widespread public demos & demands for urgent delivery of good roads iii. a severely deteriorated road network that required prompt action These conditions necessitated immediate intervention, making reliance on certain expedited procurement methods both lawful and appropriate. ISSUE 3: Claims that Big Push procurement did not follow due process and did not ensure value for money Response: The claim is totally false. Due process was strictly adhered to across all Big Push projects, with multiple layers of technical, financial, and institutional oversight to ensure value for money. These include: i. Design and cost structuring undertaken by the relevant technical agencies to ensuring alignment with engineering standards and project specifications ii. Benchmarking and validation of contractor pricing, comparative analysis to guard against inflated costs iii. Independent technical scrutiny by the Ghana Institution of Surveyors to verify scope, design integrity, and cost assumptions iv. Commencement authorisation issued by the Min of Finance, ensure fiscal discipline and compliance with public financial management requirements These processes ensure that projects are not only compliant with procurement laws but also deliver efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and technical soundness. ISSUE 4: 23 projects inherited from Npp & placed under Big Push constitutes “looting” Response: The 23 projects were ongoing, sole sourced, and lacked dedicated funding. Their inclusion under Big Push was to provide financing & ensure completion. Characterising this as “looting” is baseless and ignores the policy of delivering stalled projects for public benefit. ISSUE 5: Competitive tendering under current administration Response: Since assuming office, over 400 road projects have been subjected to competitive tendering and duly advertised in the national dailies. This marks a clear departure from past practices. ISSUE 6: Misconception of “rehabilitation” Response: There is a fundamental misunderstanding of the term “rehabilitation” by 4th estate. In road construction it is a term of art that can involve a complete overhaul of a road, not merely surface-level repairs. Projects such as Dodi Pepesu fall within this technical definition. ISSUE 7: Claims on cost per kilometre Response: The allegations of high cost per kilometre lack any evidence. The comparisons ignore critical variations in project scope, design standards, and engineering requirements. Even when this flawed method is applied, several Npp projects record higher cost per kilometre figures than Big Push. Examples: 1. Accra–Tema Motorway and Extensions (19.5km): US$17.34m per km 2. Dualisation of Adenta–Dodowa Road (22km): GH¢60.35m per km 3. Upgrading of Apirade–Domyinase Bridge Point over Birim Oda (3.2km): GH¢27.14m per km 4. Kotie–Sewua Feeder Road and critical access roads (9.12km): GH¢26.20m per km 5. Kyei Abohontedome & feeder roads (2.6km): GH¢23.37m per km Indeed, cost structures vary depending on scope of works.
