In a statement that is sending shockwaves through political and business circles, Alhassan Suhuyini has pushed back against claims that all “Big Push” projects were handed out via sole sourcing, insisting that transparency and competitive bidding played a central role in the initiative.
Addressing concerns over procurement integrity, Suhuyini emphasized that while some projects may have required expedited processes, the majority underwent rigorous evaluation and adhered to standard procedures. “It is misleading to suggest that the government bypassed due process entirely. The Big Push was designed to accelerate development while maintaining accountability,” he asserted.
Political analysts note that the clarification comes amid heightened scrutiny over government spending and project implementation. Critics have accused officials of favoritism and lack of transparency, but Suhuyini’s remarks appear aimed at restoring confidence and defending the administration’s track record.
Supporters of the policy hailed the explanation, pointing out that the initiative has led to visible improvements in infrastructure, education, and local industry, reinforcing the notion that Ghana’s development agenda can proceed efficiently without compromising fairness.
As debates continue, one thing is clear: the Big Push remains both a symbol of ambition and a lightning rod for controversy, with procurement practices under the microscope like never before.
