    Do not trust NDC for this Accra -Kumasi express way they will inflate the cost like AKSA IPP Contract. Already I'm hearing the US$4bn earmarked for the 195.7km is too high. President Mahama don't do things for free

    I'm not sure someone like you can easily pass BECE exams. The US$2 is a startup money for the express way. The projected cost is US$4 (ref Joyonline ) by the Finance Minister
