As encroachers are developing around the Accra-Tema Motorway to become a full-blown slum, Roads and Highway Minister Kwesi Amoako Atta has told Parliament through a public private partnership (PPP) arrangement, the Accra-Tema motorway is to be redeveloped.
According to the Minister his Ministry through the Ghana Highway Authority under a PPP arrangement has appointed a transaction advisor who has identified the project affected persons within the right of way.
He added that the transaction advisor had already submitted a resettlement action plan and the associated cost of the payment and compensation.
The Ministry of Roads and Highways, subsequent to the report of the Transaction Advisor would request for funds from the Ministry of Finance to settle payments and compensations.
As part of the expansion of the carriageway to three lanes on either side, physical barriers would be built to secure the right of way.
This came to light when the Member of Parliament for Mion Mohammed Abdul-Aziz wanted to know steps being taken to prevent the motorway from becoming a full-blown slum.
