IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO CONSTRUCT ACCRA-KUMASI HIGHWAY IN 2 YEARS 4 months ago

The 15km stretch from Accra to Tema has taken over 50 years to rot. Normal Coaltar Road from Ofankor to Nkawkaw had seen four Presidents, nothing substantial done.

SAM JONAH'S GHANA'S GOLD WEALTH IS DOING THE TALKING NOW IN FAR AWAY ABUJA, WHILE THE FRAUDULENT SAGLEMI HOUSING PROJECT HAS BEEN ABANDONED TO ROT AWAY.

MEANWHILE, MAHAMA CLAIMS TO HAVE FORMED ORAL, OSP BY KAPWEPWE, BNI, ETC, ALL DRAWING OVERHEADS EXPENSES FUNDED BY THE VERY BANKRUPTED GHANAIAN POOR TAXPAYER. WHAT A FRAUDULENT NATION WITH FRAUDULENT SUCCESSIVE LEADERS.

THAT'S GHANA'S FRAUDULENT LEADERSHIP FOR YOU! THEIR NEXT STOP WILL BE THE IMF/WORLD BANK FOR MORE STATUTORY LOANS TO LOOT AND DUMP THE REPAYMENTS ON BANKRUPTED GHANAIANS TO FORK IT OUT IN KILLER STATUTORY TAXES AND CONSUMER PRICE LEVELS.

WE SHALL ALL SWIM IN THE SHITHOLE IN GHANA. WHO CARES?

BANKRUPTED HOPELESS GHANA IS FINISHED!

Guys, did he say they were going to build a NEW Accra to Kumasi motorway? I am confused! Shouldn't he say they were going to CONTINUE to build rather than starting a new one? Oh our money ooooo!

Of course it would be great if the proposed motorway can be completed within the time given but I think the money must be channelled into the construction of railway from Accra to Kumasi instead. The ongoing dualisation can rather be expanded from two to three lanes each way. A fresh motorway would not be needed if the railways can be constructed.

Very sensible contribution. God bless you Kwabena . The challenge to Mahama NDC is they see the Railway project started by NPP as Akuffo Addo's initiative which will not give them that mileage. I don't think that 4 lane new motorway to Kumasi will come at a cheap cost.Then also will be the issue of quality.

Your small brain still tell you NPP built the railway. Go and check who did the planning of that railway and who secured funding for same.

Please do not make the same mistakes by constructing roads through towns for the citizens to come and put small mountains on to the roads to prevent speeding and accidents. Construct these roads on the out sketch of towns with the mind that one day the roads could be expanded. And tell citizen not to build anything 50 feet on both sides of the roads.

They just want an avenue to siphon money as they can’t steal from the on going expansion road started by the previous government. Ei Mahama, when are going to stop stealing from Ghana?

Low IQ. What is soo difficult in constructing an express way in two years. If the resources are available, and you give a 265km to 5 good road contractors at a go, it will mean each contractor doing about 50km each. And this can be done within one and half years. You see our brains are not wired to think in one direction. You are always supposed to think outside the box.

Any investors would like to build and run a rail line from Accra to Kumasi because they will gain back their money within 5 years.

President Akuffo Ado said the same thing and couldn't built 1 mile of Kumasi to Accra road in 8 years, but left us with debts, loans, white peoples money that we will pay for the next 100 years. Mr Atto Forson, where are you going to get that money, loan again, white peoples money again, another debt again, slavery again, no independence again, let work and use our own money to build our roads, and stop stealing from white people under the pretense of loan to build Kumasi to Accra road. We have been stealing white peoples money under the guise of loans from IMF, World bank, international market and through bilateral agreements with other countries, easy money by our useless leaders, let work for our own money, build our own roads with our money, no loans with interest we cannot pay. WE WANT TO LIVE LIKE HUMAN BEINGS NOT ANIMALS ANYMORE, TRUE INDEPENDENCE.

We know such a project which is even yet to undergo feasibility studies cannot be completed in 2 years. Just look at the freedom of traffic on the Nsawam and Nkawkaw bypasses and no one will tell you that the best use for the money will be for the railway, to drastically reduce the heavy traffic and long vehicles on the Accra-Kumasi road, and give further freedom to the rest of the vehicles.
