I’ll build more roads if you vote for me - Mahama pledges

President John Mahama is promising the people of the Upper West Region massive road construction in all corners of the region if he wins the December election.

The President admits the Upper West region seriously lags behind as compared to other regions in terms of good roads.

It still remains the only region where there are no tarred or bitumen roads to link it to neighboring regions.

Addressing various rallies at Funsi, Issa, Nadowli and Wechaiu, President Mahama assured the people of making road issues a thing of the past when given the nod.

In a related development, President John Mahama Monday cut sod for work to begin on the construction of a 161 KV transmission line project for Tumu-Han and Wa. This will close the northern loop of Techiman-Tamale-Bolgatanga-Tumu, Wa and Sawla.

The project is expected to improve upon system performance.

According to engineers, this will also enhance the reliability of supply to the Northern parts of Ghana. The 75 million dollar project is funded by Societe General and GRIDCO.

President Mahama says the project goes to confirm his government’s determination to make Ghana net exporter of power.

Chiefs in the various communities continued to openly declare their support for the President and his party. They promised to do their best to ensure the party remains in power. One of them is the chief of Funsi.
