Express highway is for long-term; fix existing Accra-Kumasi road to reduce accidents – Kwadwo Poku

Reiterating his position, Mr Poku maintained that the government's immediate focus should be on improving the condition of the existing Accra-Kumasi road to enhance safety for motorists while longer-term plans for the expressway progress.

But create an alternative road for people who don't want to go on an expressway.

You cannot use an expressway, which will take six to eight years to build, as the solution to the current problem on that road," he said.
