    This is the reason why John Mahama NDC govt was using an helicopter to Adansi even when it was raining. They thought they could dodge the mess they've created in the past 27yrs.

    The single-lane highway is the main root cause of the multiple accidents along Accra to Kumasi road. To avoid responsibility, every government blames overspending as the cause of these accidents, instead of dualizing the lane ...

    Drivers are often very reckless. They drive very dangerously on the road. The smoother parts of the road are even more dangerous because of overspeeding.

    This is one of the achievements of both NDC & NPP. For 32yrs they couldn't construct a modern 450km highway from Accra to Paga.Elsewhere a modern railway line would have been an under achievement.
