    A tied loan I assume. So presumably a Brazilian company will do the work. Alsothus contract sounds overinflated. Thieving govt & they do it in broad daylight

    We can only pray and hope that this would be executed free of political interference like the impressive Kwame Nkrumah Circle project.

    thiefs

  • KWAKU 9 years ago

    At this point, 45,000 shops at the cost of $298 million equates to $6,622.22 per shop. Some questions come to mind. What are the shop sizes? How is the layout of the market? There has to be a plan or rendering of the new ...

    Before spewing your tribal nonsense, you should have checked to find out how much Kumasi contribute into the national revenue system in comparison with the other major cities and districts. Folks from Accra, Kumasi, Tema, Ko ...

    This amount can build an entire subway system for Kumasi. Any doubting Thomases out there can google the Addis Ababa subway system being built by the Chinese and compare the cost.

  • Antobam 9 years ago

    I didn't doubt it but was certainly curious, so I did check on the cost of the Addis Ababa subway - well, the reported cost is actually $475 million or 295 million pounds and certainly too much more. But you still made a val ...

    Let us be serious, if about two-thirds of the contract amount is going to be spent on the Kejetia, why not simply describe the project as the Kejetia Redelopment Project? Another create, loot and share?
