The former Minister of Roads and Highways, Francis Asenso-Boakye, has criticised President over his recent statement that his government is committed to the dualisation of major roads nationwide.
Responding to the President's remarks, Asenso-Boakye asserted that the concept of road dualisation was originally conceived and initiated by the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) government under the leadership of former President .
He further stated that a solid foundation was laid for the dualisation of several roads, specifically citing the Circle-Achimota, Nsawam, Nkawkaw, and Ejisu-Kumasi stretches.
He, however, added that these projects were abandoned by the subsequent NDC administration following the exit of President Kufuor's government. "The deliberate dualisation of Ghana's major road corridors-particularly the Accra-Kumasi highway-is not just a convenience; it is a strategic necessity for national development.
