Pokuase-Nsawam/Accra-Kumasi highway
If you have thin skin and can't endure criticism of your partisan political gods, then stop reading.
Politicians and technocrats with knowledge about the pre-feasibility and feasibility reports on a six-lane Accra-Kumasi expressway don't deserve to call themselves leaders, and definitely don't deserve a pesewa of Article 71 entitlements.
In fact, they must be ashamed of themselves!!!
How in God's name can they justify not being able to grant a concession to the private sector to mobilise resources to construct the most important economic road in this country, such that Ghanaians now spend seven to eight hours commuting on a road of just 240km?
What did you waste our resources on? How in God's name did you waste the taxes accumulated?
Where are all the roads that you have been telling gullible Ghanaians about?
I have recently travelled to all 10 previous regions, and I did not experience a single road that was worthy.
Many African countries have better roads to boast of! Did you just come into government to milk the state dry?
Shame on all of you! Shame on you!
President Mahama, keep your promise to have a six-lane Accra-Kumasi expressway constructed by the deadline you announced.
If you fail, Ghanaians won't forgive you.
This broke country cannot finance the US$2.4 billion Accra-Kumasi expressway via GoG funding if corrupt politicians want to be able to benefit from procurement gigs.
Worldwide, major roads are financed and tolled to recoup investment.
Why is the GoG trying to finance a major road when it doesn't have the resources and has no plans to toll the road to recoup investment?
Ghanaians are tired of your corrupt and wicked ways, politicians! Fix the Accra-Kumasi road with a credible concession.
How long shall we allow citizens to endure the needless pain in traffic, while politicians enjoy Article 71 benefits for doing nothing in office?
