Parliament summons contractor over delays in Dansoman sea defense project
The Parliamentary Select Committee on Works and Housing has summoned the contractor handling the Dansoman Sea Defense Project to appear before it and answer questions regarding the project’s progress and quality of work.
Nearly 11 months after construction began, members of the Committee say they are dissatisfied with the pace and standard of work and are calling for a comprehensive review of the project.
Speaking on Monday, October 27, 2025, the Committee’s Chairman, Vincent Oppong Asamoah, said the project, which is vital to protecting coastal communities from the impact of tidal waves has faced several challenges that require urgent intervention.
“The cost is an issue, and even how procurement and other technical challenges are all issues that the members are calling for a probe into the project. That is what we are preparing, and very soon, you will hear from the Committee. But we are not very much satisfied,” he said.
The Committee is expected to meet the contractor in the coming days to seek explanations regarding cost variations, technical delays, and the overall progress of the project.
