The Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Dr.
Mahamudu Bawumia says developing major railways in the country will accelerate the Ghana's progress.In view of this, he has outlined his "bold plans" to develop three major railway lines to boost the country's transport network."One of my priorities in terms of infrastructure development is railway development", Dr.
Bawumia said at a stakeholders' engagement at the Atwima Mponua Constituency at the start of his Ashanti Regional tour on Monday.He continued; "It is very important for our country because if we are blessed with bauxite and we don't have enough railway lines, it is problematic.
When we develop our railways, it will really help our country.""There are three major railway lines that I want to focus on; from Tema in Greater Accra to Kumasi and then from Kumasi to Takoradi and then from Awaasi, through Nyinahin to Eduade.
