Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson announced that the government will need 12 years to finish 55 stalled projects. He made the statement during his recent budget presentation in Parliament.

Dr. Forson explained that the delays result from past mismanagement and funding challenges. He added that many of these projects involve critical infrastructure and social services. The minister stressed that streamlining project management and enforcing fiscal reforms will help address these delays gradually.

He noted that unlocking these stalled projects will boost service delivery and improve the quality of life for citizens. Although the timeline is long, the government plans to implement targeted measures to ensure steady progress.

Stakeholders remain cautiously optimistic. They believe that completing these projects will ultimately drive economic growth and enhance public trust in government initiatives.
