Minister designate for Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako Atta has told the Appointment Committee of the 8th Parliament that there is a deliberate policy targeted at improving road networks in all the sixteen regions.
According to him it stands to reason that Accra being the capital most roads would be improved, then to the second city Kumasi, then Takoradi and the others.
He further pointed out that priority should also be given to other regional networks that would produce economic benefit to the nation. “We would not have food if roads to the food basket regions are not improved and cocoa growing areas”.
The Minister-designate who was responding to a question from the Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis Xavier Kojo Sosu who wanted to know if there is a deliberate policy to improve the road networks in Accra, also stated that, “I can assure this Committee that we have to work hand in hand to improve road networks in all part of the country”.
The Minister told the vetting Committee that there has been a lot of improvement in road networks in Accra, and all cannot be done at the same time, but was quick to assure the Committee that roads in the country would continue to see improvement.
