I have the divine revelation from God to caution: I hope the NDC won't start this big project with intent to win the next election and leave it to waste largest investment, in case they loose the 2028 election, with a possibl ...

Most politicians start big projects close to their second term elections with intent to use such big projects to lure or condition citizens for votes and if they do not win, then they abandon the project and waste public fund ...

This should never be like the abandoned National Cathedral Project. Some of these abuses of public funds constitute one of the clear reasons why political appointments must be abolished.
The use of armed forced for the construction is a great idea but should be the strategy to use soldiers of the Ghana armed forces to possible help manipulate the next elections or to use the military as a support in rigging t ...

So you are saying that if ndc losses the next election to npp they will as usual abandon this important project. Woow
I thought NPP MPs from Ashanti region said it is a waste of money and that it can never be done. . What the criminal gang forget is that unscrupulous Nana Addo is NOT Mahama.
Can't you be decent and respect yourself for once and speak your mind without insults. It shows the type of upbringing you got from your parents
If the government wants this project to be completed within the time stipulated then the 48 engineers regiment must be part of it either by partnering the consultants or the construction engineers/contractors. They would brin ...

Hehe hehe. Tweaaaa. You are joking. They won't be part for obvious reasons. Saaa!
I fully support, Hans.
Agreed wholeheartedly with you on GAF to partner with you any contractor choose to work on this project .
I have a question please. What happened to the trees pulled down during this clearing exercise? Were there gold mined during the process?
You yourself is fully aware of the mischief in your question. As it is, you may have to go and ask your father.
Ask ur father and grandfather father's. Stupid
Your Excellency President John Dramani Mahama your name will forever be on our lips if this road is completed by the end of your final term in office , please do not let it be like the affordable house President Kuffour left ...

Piercing the heart of the NPP stronghold. Bueeeiii
Handover what ? Isn’t the project already in the hands of the Ghana government, so what is all this expenses for ? Why don’t we just leave it for the military to simply begin the main construction of the road , rather tha ...

So is this new road having any river cross it
Yes. President Mahama is Kwame Nkrumah N0 2. No doubt about it.
No, Kutu Acheampong who came to meet no money like Nkrumah who met much money left by the British. You might be very young but go to the various Regional Capitals and find out the much that Kutu Acheampong did for Ghana. Do y ...

Honestly, this project is wholly a wanted show case by Mahama. The needed are ignored. A wanted project of the sort by a single being would automatically be abandoned by the next administration to render it waste of money.

Bravo GAF. Bravo JDM....
Better use of of the GAF than pounding fufu in Cecilia Dapaahs house. Ministers stealing from our coffers got men assigned to them as well. It's time all Ghanaians think about Ghana and not this party or the other.
Yesterday politicians. 1. Which minister loaded three trunks full of fiscal cash under his bed for some to be taken by his guards. 2. Which minister loaded his car boot full of money for the washing bay group to take as much ...

If the Mahama Government successfully complete this project,NDC Government will be in power for a long time to come.Bravo to NDC for even taking the initiative.
Let them finish the express way and leave the rural areas roads and other infrastructure unattended to and see how they would win power. You think Ghana is just Accra to Kumasi Expressway.
But they constructing other roads as well or you didn't know
Is only undetvNDC that machetes are used t o contract expresd way
A law must be passed to stop encroachment, illegal junctions and buildings. The public must be restricted or prohibited from developing on the right-of-way, otherwise this new road will become another Tema Motorway.
This is what Visionary leaders do. JM is a Visionary Leader.
Good work done. JM all the way. May the good Lord see to the completion of this massive Infrastructure Project
Oseade3yo!!

Are you playing politics or you're just an idiot? This is 90% completed. Which part of the road have you seen dust lately.? Some of you guys need to have your brains checked
How long has this tiny stretch of road taken? more than 2 years and still counting. You are describing yourself. By the way, the road is not 90% complete. I drive on this road at least 2 times a week and yes, there is still d ...

Ghañaweb the adverts that pop up is too much. It didn't help the readers of your news. Aden?
Please what is the state of the Northern corridor road? Am just asking
President John Mahama has become a force to be reckoned with. He has become the best president Ghana has ever had after Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. May God protect him and shield him from all evil forces.
Propaganda project. Mahama should improve the existing highway. Speedly clearing and handing over mud road is no achievenent.
Now his failed and campaign promise of 24 hours economy now changed to big push and 24 hours market. Mahama is truly a clueless and incompetent president
Why's the media not telling Ghanaians how much it's costing the taxpayer for this military construction of this super highway. We want to know how much it would have cost the country if a private company had constructed it. N ...

A good intention, but make sure Sammy Gyamfi, Samuel Okudgeto and Sam George don’t go near it.
There's no need for ceremony, Mr. President we support you for this project but this one is not needed
Who is responsible for the busted Cocaine????
Expressway vs Railway. Which one could have been better for us as a country. A Rail line from Accra straight to Kumasi, think about it
When you buy a plot of land to build a house and you uproot farmers' cassava from it, it doesn't mean you have built a house.
Accra-Kumasi Expressway is a white elephant in the making. The NDC government is wasting Ghana's resources. The NPP under Kufour started this highway, and Mahama NDC came, followed by Nana Akufo-Ado's NPP government, and now ...

The job is far from complete. For an Express Way we have a long way to go.
This is a commendable effort. The government should kindly let Ghanaians know how much has been spent so far. Thanks
This one is far much better than that useless big hole over there. Now we have an intelligent President. God bless JDM
GOD IS OUR HELPER IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. GHANAMAN REMAIN BLESSED.
The width of the road can also accommodate a rail line. The government should consult the Chinese for a bot contract and Ghanaians will never forget it's benefits.
