Addressing Parliament on Tuesday March 24, 2026, the Minister described allegations of widespread sole sourcing as misleading and unfounded. He stated that only 44 percent of major contracts, including those under the "Big Push", were procured through sole sourcing, while over 400 contracts have been awarded through open competitive tendering. He stressed that it is inaccurate to suggest that the Ministry relies primarily on sole sourcing. Reaffirming his position, Agbodza stated that there has been no breach of procurement laws and no abuse of sole sourcing under the "Big Push" programme, describing it as the exception rather than the norm. “The Big Push is delivering real results across the country,” he said, calling for broad national backing to sustain its momentum.
