Roads Minister Kwame Governs Agbodza Refutes Claims of Accusing Adom Kyei’s Church of Road Obstruction

The Ministry of Roads and Highways has issued a formal clarification to address recent reports concerning Minister Kwame Governs Agbodza and a church associated with Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah. Kojo Danquah, the spokesperson for the Minister, stated that Mr. Agbodza did not accuse the church of blocking a public road, despite headlines suggesting otherwise. The Ministry emphasized that the Minister’s visit was intended to oversee infrastructure progress and ensure that all local institutions are accommodated during construction. According to the spokesperson, the claim that the church was creating an obstruction actually originated from the contractor on-site during a briefing, rather than from the Minister himself. Mr. Danquah clarified that the Minister’s role during the visit was to receive technical updates and provide direction based on those reports. He urged media outlets to correct the misleading headlines, noting that inaccurate reporting can create unnecessary friction between the government and religious organizations. To support this clarification, the Ministry pointed to video evidence of the site visit, which reveals the Minister’s actual instructions to the engineering team. The footage reportedly shows Minister Agbodza specifically directing the contractor to facilitate easy access for the church and its congregants. Additionally, the Minister focused on resolving broader infrastructure issues, including the improvement of road surfaces and the management of drainage systems to prevent local flooding. This collaborative approach underscores the government’s commitment to delivering high-quality infrastructure while maintaining positive relationships with community stakeholders.
