Expressway currently must never be a priority. Maintenance of the existing dual carriage would do better. Ghanaians are scattering everywhere because of jobs.
The $4b would be enough for a railway construction from south to north. To boost the economy in creating several jobs formal and informal. Ghana is disgraced internationally every day every hour. Even the agenda 111 hospitals could help a lot instead of planting Ghanaian women in the Caribbean etc.
Once elected see the needs instead. Wanted things are trivialities.

How about the hundreds of human lives that would be preserved through a reliable road network. There is not a week without catastrophic accidents on the Accra-Kumasi road. One life lost is too many. And how about the ease of human movement? Upon completion, one can easily leave Kumasi early morning to catch a flight at KIA without having to spend a night in Accra. And how about the reduced cost of vehicle maintenance due to less wear and tear? This would actually lessen the stress on emergency centers at hospitals from less road accidents. So it’s not as simplistic as you put it.

Whether road or rail, there's ease of transport. Dont think you're wiser. Do you know the cost of rail per km? Talk is cheap they say. In any case infrastructure is not going to stop with Accra Kumasi expressway.

The politicians are the course of these happenings. If the government of the day focus on the existing dual road from Accra to Kumasi by completing and maintening it only, just after his term of office, the opposition will use these as campaign massage that, they did nothing within their 4 year term in office. The previous government set up a whole ministry for railway but they could not construct, the railway line from the south to the north. The Kumasi - Accra exppress highway is a game changing project, to ease pressure on the existing dual road; reduce cost especially car maintenance and travel time to and fro the two major cities.

You got it all wrong. The expressway is going to be either a dual carriage or three-lane expressway. Add the bridges, overpasses, and ancillary lanes and you’d see that $4 billion is about right.

You infernally corrupt NPP VERMIN must NEVER open your foul gobs to accuse anyone of venality. You're the quintessential deity in both form and function. You have absolutely no moral basis or any other her for that matter to speak to any national matter. You forfeited your rights from the day you formed your mate meho predator anti-republican cults.

Can anyone bet with me that is just a scam and will never happen - at least before 2029 when this guy leaves office.

It is rather for the means to skim the normal corrupt 10% of new project. This is always the issue with our corrupt politicians.

It was true with the, Seglemi Housing Project, the 200 Community Day SHS, the Agenda 111, the National Holy Cathedral, etc. All what politicians know to do is START A NEW PROJECT so they can skim the 10% from the loans they get for such new project. After they squander the funds and the project stalls, either they stop or they lose power and the next guy/govt abandons it - only to start another new project.

Otherwise, how on earth would a govt of Ghana neglect many of the uncompleted projects to start one like this?

I repeat, let anyone place a bet with me that this project will never see day of light by 2029!!!!

Project will not be completed as scheduled, however a

You see the guy.? You see professionalism? You see optimizm? You see Leadership skills? You see strength and courage? You see perfection, coupled with knowledge and understanding and intelligence. You see a little of Trumpism in him? That's my Man for President when WEAK MAHAMA IS OUT IN 2028. Think next about Osaegyfo Nana Agyeman Badu of BA. These 2 prominent high commodity personalities will bring back the Glory that Nkrumah was forced out from by the coup. Good bless my motherland Ghana when these 2 take over.

$4b (ghc50b) for expressway without borrowing can take us up to 5-6 years to complete. Meanwhile more lives will perish on the old Accra to kumasi road. Yoo we hear

Building the Expressway at the back of cocoa farmers. The insensitivity of the NDC government towards farmers is very obvious.
