    Our politicians like to dream and promise big but end up achieving very little. Let's wait and see.

    18mths in power you no fit construct 100 meters railway line yet you're dreaming of 1 012 km in 48mths. These Guys still feel Ghanaians have forgotten the 24hrs Economy jobs promise. Ofui President Sankwas

    1km of railway on relatively flat land costs 1.5 to 5 million USD without corruption. Over 1000 km of railway will cost 3 to 5 billion USD. Probably more due to corruption.

    U right but any serious government will put rail transport amongst his priorities. If indeed he mean it, he can even ask these AES states to fund it on mou and it's will even serve them more advantage and Ghana as a whole.

    @ DkB
    Ignore SAEED OSMAN he's a Big FOOL with a Cow Brain.Instead of President Mahama & Ato Forson buying a Mercedes Benz Ambulances for his parents at the North, they bought them Tricycles & Bicycles as Ambulances.

    That is a brilliant idea, let it roll because better railway system is more reliable than private transport systems

  • Name 3 days ago

    Nobody is saying it is a bad idea. It is a good idea, however we need systematic planning, not a chaotic one.

    Don't delude yourselves. You cannot build a 1,000km railway line in 5 years. This is no more than another scheme to create loot and share.

    Another big talk. We could not afford to complete Tema to Kumasi, something less than 300 kilometres, and you here talking about more than 1000 kilometers.

    The plan is still there, it is just a matter continue with it.And they don't want it to happen and therefore always talking of new lines.

  • Pelicles 3 days ago

    I can figure out why some Ghanaians believe anything that comes from the mouth of Ato Forson or Mahama? What sugar-coated words didn't they use to convince cocoa farmers to vote for them and what was the outcome?
