Business News of Wednesday, 8 April 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Ghana Institution of Engineering (GhIE) has called on the Audit Service of Ghana to undertake an independent and comprehensive technical audit of road projects under the government’s flagship “Big Push” infrastructure programme, citing mounting concerns over procurement practices and project delivery. In a statement issued on April 8, 2026, the Institution said the scale of investment, estimated at GH¢110 billion, with about GH¢85 billion already committed, requires “rigorous and independent scrutiny” to safeguard the national interest. From a professional engineering standpoint, GhIE warned that the unprecedented level of public expenditure cannot proceed without credible oversight. “The gravity of the issues raised requires an independent audit by the Auditor-General to provide objective findings and restore public confidence,” it added. GhIE further indicated its readiness to support the audit process with technical expertise to ensure credibility and comprehensiveness.
