Parliamentary Committee summons contractor over Dansoman Sea Defense Project

The Parliamentary Select Committee on Works and Housing has directed the contractor working on the Dansoman Sea Defense Project to appear before it to answer questions regarding the progress and quality of work.

According to the Committee, nearly 11 months after the project began, members are dissatisfied with the contractor’s performance and are calling for a thorough review of the project.

Chairman of the Committee, Vincent Oppong Asamoah, on Monday, October 27, 2025, said the project, which is critical to protecting coastal communities from tidal waves, has encountered several challenges that require urgent attention.

“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,” he said.

“That is what we are preparing, and very soon, you will hear from the Committee. But we are not very much satisfied.”

He emphasised the importance of the project, given the recurring destruction caused by tidal waves in the area, but added that the Committee expects transparency and accountability in its execution.

The Committee is expected to meet the contractor in the coming days to demand explanations on cost variations, technical delays, and the overall progress of the project
