The government has commenced the renovation of vital roads across several neighborhoods within the Ejisu Municipality, affirming its dedication to ensuring prompt project completion.
Inspecting ongoing projects on April 18, Roads and Highways Minister Francis Asenso Boakye dismissed claims that the initiatives were prompted solely by the impending by-election in the area.
Approximately 32 road projects are in progress within the Ejisu Constituency, managed by various departments including Urban, Feeder, and Highway.
The Minister clarified that these contracts were initiated within the past three months, predating the passing of Ejisu MP John Ampontuah Kumah.
“Currently, about 32 projects are going on in the municipality, these projects include urban roads, Ghana Highway authority, and Feeder roads projects. I’m satisfied with the work going on, the contractors are some of the best we have.”
“I’m confident they will continue to work very hard so that we can complete the project as scheduled. None of these projects was awarded in the last three months.
“These are not by-election projects, for the past three years, some of the projects have been going on. The MP who passed on was instrumental in making sure that these projects were designed and constructed.
“Rest assured; these are not by-election projects; these are normal projects the ministry is implementing,” he said.
He underscored that the construction endeavors aren’t exclusively linked to the forthcoming by-election, highlighting the government’s broader commitment to nationwide infrastructure enhancement.
Assuring residents, Bantama MP emphasized that road rehabilitation aims to bolster connectivity, safety, and socio-economic growth in the region.
“Presently, around 32 projects are underway in the municipality, covering urban, Ghana Highway Authority, and Feeder roads projects. I’m content with the progress; the contractors are among the best we have,” he stated.
“I’m confident they will maintain their diligence to ensure timely project completion. None of these projects were initiated in the past three months.”
“These aren’t by-election ventures; some have been ongoing for three years. The late MP played a significant role in their development and execution.”
“Rest assured; these aren’t by-election ventures; they are standard ministry projects,” he affirmed.
Contractors are presently engaged in projects across communities like Achiakrom, Abankro, Donyina, Onwe, and Adako Jachie.
If all NPP should be dying one by one, this country road network would be completed in no time. Gullible minds we are.
