Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh has said if Ghana is able to review its railway network around the country, it would take off the pressure on roads around the country.
According to the Nsawam-Adoagyiri legislator this would help facilitate movement of Ghanaians and added that in the next ten years he want to see a well revived and oiled railway system.
“If we focus on reviving our rail net works we would make a lot of difference and call for extensive education to prevent the massive encroachment of railway lines around the Country’, he said.
Again we would need the media to help with education against encroachment on railway lands, “this is a huge task.”
He lamented in an interview that for a long time governments had not devoted time to revamp the railway network and cited during the period of former President Kufuor much was not done.
And further added that President Nana Addo’s government has shown commitment in revamping the rail sector in Ghana and should be appreciated, “we still think we can do with roads and be able to do away with railway, we need to point out to our people that is not the way to go”, he lamented.
