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.

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.

Stupid minds We borrowed $3b from IMF to shore up the whole country and you have $4b of your own and you it on only one road passaging the bush that will encourage highway robbery. Useless minds. What about the debts you owe? That one you don't care? Not so?

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!!!!
