Prof Bokpin laments poor road network, calls for emergency action on Accra-Kumasi highway

He said a journey from Accra to Kumasi, which previously took about three hours five years ago, could now take as long as 10 hours because of the deteriorating road conditions.

He argued that the government should consider declaring a state of emergency on the Accra-Kumasi highway to facilitate urgent intervention rather than allowing accidents linked to the poor condition of the road to continue." Prof Bokpin expressed particular concern about the condition of the Accra-Kumasi highway and the Tema-Accra Motorway, questioning how long it would take for the government to rehabilitate the critical routes.
