Government will be fair to all Ghanaians- Dr Anane

Dr Richard Winfred Anane, Minister of Roads and Highways, has given the assurance that the government would ensure that no part of the country was left out under its roads development programme.

"Everyone will be made to feel part of the country as all corners will be linked with good roads to boost economic production", he said.

Dr Anane, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bantama, was addressing a forum of the Bantama constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at Kwadaso.

He briefed the people on efforts the government is making to improve their lot and also listen to the concerns of the people.

The Minister said the Abuakwa-Tanoso-Bekwai Roundabout road that runs through the area was to be turned into a dual carriageway, adding "successful completion of the project would bring relief to the people particularly workers occupying the SSNIT flats at Asuoyeboah".

Dr Anane refuted claims that the Kwadaso streets improvement project had been abandoned and said work on it would re-start next week.

The Minister told them that the government's programme to equip the unemployed with skills was on course and that three training centres had been opened in the constituency.

The centres are located at Edwinase, North Suntreso and Bohyen.

Dr Anane said the trainees would be given start-up capital to establish their businesses after their training.

Mr George Kofi Agyei, the constituency chairman of the party, said the government had made giant strides towards the economic growth of the country.

He told members of the party not to be complacent but work harder to broaden its support base to make the 2004 general elections a "walk over for the NPP".
