volta region needs agro-processing factories to process agric products and create jobs. Misplaced priority the Airport should have been constructed at Aflao which sees more activities than Ho.

The airport will attract private investors, for ease of transportation, to set up the businesses. The export of perishable items will also be facilitated, the airport thus creating an enabling environment.

Mr Mahama, it appears you don't know your world bank properly. We are mainly poor farmers and artisans. We cannot afford the flight fares. You should have used the money to construct the HO Atimpoku road to a proper motorable road. This project is going to be a white elephant. For this reason, you have lost my vote.

GACL sourced funds for the construction. The airport is an opportunity for developing the hospitality business amongst others. Tourists will buy local crafts etc as souvenirs. Holticultural sector can flourish.

Kofitse you do not understand the meaning of an airport..It is not just there for you to take a flight to Tamale to visit your sister. Air -shifting of cargo has become important worldwide. I am sure some day you will understand this problem. Ask Mahama rather for railway line. If well kept it will be there for years. You see , the potholes appear after rains.

Completion of runway equivalent to an airport. So if the inaugural flight takes off in November without terminals then it's an airport. What cheap idea for votes?

Constructing an airport just for the sake of building or creating an avenue to steal money is wicked, disloyal and dumb.
Many area in Ghana lack motorable roads and you talk about building new regional airports. Of course if you have aircraft sitting idle, or could afford one you could toy with that idea.
Ghana seriously lacks basic and urgent infrastucture; motorable roads, functional schools, waste disposal, reliable and afordable electricity, housing and a functional health delivery system. Meanwhile we cant even pay the few doctors,nurses teachers and essential employees yet we are audacious or stupid enough to build white edifices which would serve little or no purpose.
Many people have thrown the words, inept, incompetent, dishonest, thieves at our government.

Derrick as a former Prez.&Chairman of a not for profit Org. it's not ethical for me to be partisan the reason am commenting on your piece is because you made mention of the payment of debt by Gh citizens for capital expenditures currently been made yes it is true all this spending must be paid for and all this projects must also be managed and maintained you've alluded to the fact that existing worked are not been paid which is sad but at the end of the day Gh has to find the strength of character within herself to improve her lot no one will do that for her

Look at the roads around the so-called airport. Would it not have made more sense to fix the roads before thinking about an airport? Who are the passengers? John Mahama must be going mad.

MISPLACED PRIORITY SHOWING CLEARLY THEIR BIG STUPIDITY!!!

INSTEAD OF SPENDING THE SCARCE RESOURCES INTO ROADS AND ROADNETWORKS THROUGHT THE REGION TO IMPACT ALMOST ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE REGION THE BIG STUPID FOOLS ARE RATHER INVESTING IN AN AIRPORT THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE FEW POLITICIANS WHO WANT TO CURTAIL THEIR HUSTLING TO & FROM ACCRA TO HO BY ROAD.

IT WILL SOON COME TO LIGHT AND REALITY THAT AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THIS AIRPORT IN LINE WITH MISMANAGED GHANA'S ECONOMY THERE WILL NOT BE ANY DOMESTIC AIRLINES WITH A PLANE TO PLY THIS ROUTE WHICH WILL BE UNFPROFITABLE TO FLY PLANES THERE...MAKING IT A WHITE ELEPHANT AND NOT BENEFICIAL TO THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE OF VOLTA REGION AND GHANA.

WHEN BIG FOOLS AND POEE MANAGERS ENDOWED WITH STUPIDITY YOU SEE SUCH STUPID ACTIONS/PLANS IMPLEMENTED PLUNGING THE NATION INTO MORE MISPLACED PRORITIZED GOAL ACHIEVEMENT!!
