The army is there to fight for Ghana so using them to fight poverty or lack of infrastructure in the country makes sense. Toare Ibrahim is a soldier and he knows that the army can fight poverty.
Civilians just talk big and steal money.
Get the army involved in agriculture, who knows more about logistics than soldiers. After all the biggest problems farmers have is getting produce to market I went to army schools and they were very good. 37 is probably the second best hospital in Ghana.
People look at the record of that bisexual Rawlings and think that is what a military government is. Kutu Acheampong is the original Ibrahim Toare.Yentua, Operations feed yourself, industries and not taking loans are all things done or originated by Kutu and copied by Sankara and Troare
Rawlings cannot be used as an example of a military government but be seen for what he was. A bisexual homo jealous like shit and steals like the white man that he was exactly what we didn't need and he was also a civilian and he was still a brutal human being so it wasn't the uniform that made him gay and brutal

This chief and Mahama compliment each other. They are both intelligent and natural leaders who truly have Ghana at heart. Mentally deranged NPP members wrongly accuse him of being NDC member. What else should he do? As a genuine leader he can only lean towards the party that brings progress to his people and his beloved Ghana, unlike that mad ugly Aboatia who who helped his equally ugly president to bleed Ghana dry only to cry a few months later that there's no hospital in his area. Otumfo, no wonder you are called King Solomon. You are after progress and human development NOT tribe.

I’m genuinely excited to hear that the GAF will be undertaking the Accra–Kumasi Expressway project. It opens the door for more technically skilled individuals to serve in meaningful, productive ways—channeling their abilities into building infrastructure and strengthening the economy.

It’s encouraging to see capacity being directed toward development—turning tools of conflict into instruments of progress. That kind of shift speaks to vision and purpose.

If this project is executed to a high international standard, it could mark a major step forward—not only for national infrastructure, but also in positioning the GAF alongside respected global construction firms.

A truly promising initiative—one that deserves support and careful execution.

Yes, you are right. I remember the GAF used by Kutu Acheampong to construct roads, built bridges and even schools. They even helped local communities in building Places of Convenience at the time of Kutu and Rawlings. Those were splendid. Kutu Acheampong did a lot more good productive things for Ghana than many others since the time of Nkrumah. It was during his time under OPERATION FEED YOURSELF that there was too much food in Ghana. Yes, Ghana for the first time exported food to even other countries in Africa and the world.
Such a person who was even retired from any Action Military Service and was resting at his hometown, not involved in any form of Politics or Government was arrested at his village at TRABUOM(A village that I knew very well), put to trial by a Stupid Military Tribunal), and under stupid and nasty charges including an idiotic one that he loved many women. Were Rawlings, Boakye Djan and the Tsikatas who had him killed only with their wives? Well, that was the time that Ghanaians were forced to live under fear and under THE CULTURE OF SILENCE. What a shame! How many Ghanaians know about how Kutu Acheampong’s OPERATION FEED YOURSELF was successful and there was abundance of food everywhere. He was killed for nothing, except because he was an Asante person.
And for what justifiable reasons that Afrifa who had also retired from the Military, established his farms at KROBO near Asante Mampong dragged to the horrible Public Tribunals to be found guilty for some silly charges, found guilty and shot to death at the Teshie Military Shooting Range. Was it because he was feared by the AFRC Military Junta? I yearn for a justification for his being shot to death at the Military Shooting Range at Teshie. Perhaps it was criminal to be an Akan who was an an Asante person in the Military during the AFRC murderous time. How many houses did Kutu, Afrifa, and General Akuffo had? Just killed in the name of a very STUPID AFRC REGIME. May their Souls Rest In Peace Peace.

3. Hand Ghana's mineral deposits to his brother
4. Repair cost of a constructed road is more than the cost of constructing the road itself
5. His family members use govt machinery to execute thir private contracts
6. Allocating a govt building to himself as his retirement package
7. Engaging in ethnocentric and hate speech - do you remember Akyem Mafia?

The Mpakadan railway, have you seen a trian moving on it? The so called SkyTrain project, what happened to it?

But when you construct a road, private operators will use it and manage their own vehicles. No one will syphon anything. And I'm sure the government will benefit from road tolls.

Waaaw, l like the idea of using the military for this project. It is surely going to reduce cost. This initiative should be a sustained policy for every government to follow. I believe the government Learnt this noble idea from Burkinabe government. I am dying for this if my understanding is right. The present government is excellently thinking outside the box and it is laudable. I applaud the government for this noble idea. I once said if government will pull all the road construction equipment allocated to local government, we can centrally construct every road infrastructure without contractors.

Building road online is just like building castles in the air. Stop the media propaganda and do thermal work on the ground

What major road did NDC complete in their 8 years. President Kuffour started the Accra to Kumasi highway but due to creat, loot and share didn’t continue it. Tweaaaa.

Jokers. Ghana is sick. Do you need the expressway at this time. Common sense instead of complete the bypass which has 64% complete no fools. I pity poor tax payer.

I has always had the opinion the gaf has been underutilized with the logistics both human and u name it at their disposal they can be a force for good than letting them just sit at the barracks especially when it comes to infrastructure development and I believe our able men and women would be very willing because they are even ready to put their lives on the line

This caricature gimmicks is useless. Just start constructing the road. That's all we need.

This is a long overdue project, but better late than never.
Thank you, NDC, for implementing it.
By the way, is the distance between Accra and Kumasi less than 200 kilometres?

Only in Ghana that while one project is incomplete, another project is started. Then we turn around, scratch our heads and ask what is the problem? Smh.

If the road construction started in March 2925 and it’s supposed to take 20weeks, then it should have been completed by now. Mr/Ms journalist, check your facts right. Thanks

If NDC government is able to construct this EXPRESSWAY then NPP PARTY will have to forget the 2028 elections. This is because this time ASHANTIS love and like development in their region and nothing else. We are going to vote massively for NDC PARTY if this project comes on. ASHANTIS are tired of voting for NPP PARTY all the time without meaningful development in Ashanti region. This project will double the economic activities and development of Ashanti region and open up the entire country to the South North East and West. I can see NDC PARTY gaining 41% votes in the Ashanti region during the 28 elections with this huge and monumental project in place.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW HIGH WAYS FROM ACCRA TO KUMASI IS UNNECESSARY WASTE OF FUNDS BECAUSE TĤE EXISTING OLD HIGH WAY FROM ACCRA TO KUMASI IS STILL GOOD AND ONLY NEEDS MAINTAINACE ,EXPANSION AND IMPROVEMENT. GHANA RATHER NEEDS A MODERN RAIL WAY TRANSPORT FROM ACCRA TO PAGE VIA KUMASI INSTEAD. IF GO TO MOST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES THEIR MAJOR CITIES, TOWNS ARE LINKED BY RAIL TRANSPORT WHICH IS MORE CHEAPER, TO TRAVEL ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, USES LESS SPACE ,FAST PACE OF TRAVEL, EASY TRANSPORTATION OF PASSENGERS, GOODS AND SERVICES, LESS ACCIDENTS, MORE CONVENIENT TO USE ,MASS MODE OF TRANSPORT THAN ROAD TRANSPORT. GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONSIDER RAIL TRANSPORT RATHER THAN ANOTHER CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH WAY FROM ACCRA TO KUMASI VIA OBUASI
