Watch the moment 'Minority front bench' praised roads minister in Parliament

The Minority front bench in Parliament has commended the Minister of Roads and Highways, Kwame Governs Agbodza, for his approach to governance and public service delivery.

Speaking on the floor of Parliament on June 17, 2026, the Deputy Minority Whip, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, stated that Agbodza prioritises results over showmanship.

“He’s not paying those people who are doing the awards for our ministers and taking money. He’s not paying. He thinks his job should show. You can see that his answers are rare. No, no,” he said.

Jerry Ahmed also praised the Minister’s understanding of governance and leadership.

“Mr. Speaker, he understands the politics. He understands proper man-management. He understands governance. And that is why he’s called Governs,” he noted.

The Minority Leader, Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, also stated that both Majority and Minority members of Parliament are political actors working in the interest of democracy, and therefore, good performance should be acknowledged regardless of party affiliation.

"We are here as political actors. Minority, Majority. It is all for the good of democracy. When the man does it well, we must commend him at the same time. Today I'm commending you for being calm. When I take you on, don't take it personally. Today is not that day. But you've done well for the field visits. And I watched you. You did it with passion. And that's it. That's the right thing to do", he stated.
