The Minister of Roads and Highways has disputed assertions that road tolls have been abolished by the government. According to the minister, the legislation backing the collection of tolls on public roads remains active despite a decision by the government to cease toll collection in November 2021. The minister for roads subsequently issued a directive announcing the cessation of toll collection. However, the finance minister, exactly a year later, has announced that the government will reintroduce toll collection on selected roads in 2023. Speaking on the reintroduction of tolls, the roads minister has hinted that toll rates will likely go up starting in 2023.
