President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo has applauded Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako-Atta for his stellar performance at the ministry.
According to President Akufo-Addo, the Roads and Highways Minister has achieved more in the ministry’s history than any of his predecessors, adding that the work rate and kilometers of roads constructed shows that he has no rival in the road sector.
“I do not think there is a minister who has a record like Kwasi Amoako Atta. There is nobody”, the President said.
He said this in Kumasi on Tuesday, October 18, 2022 when he cut the sod for the construction of 4-tier Suame Interchange, which is part of the US$750Million facility from the Afreximbank.
President Akufo-Addo took advantage of the platform presented at the ceremony to account to the people of the Ashanti what his government has done for the area.
He explained that his government has completed 86 road projects covering 1,850 kilometres in the Ashanti region while 310 projects have been also been awarded on contract and currently being executed.
“When I took over the reins of government from John Mahama, he made an assertion that infrastructure development in his time was unprecedented.
“Soon after I took over, I embarked on a national tour and everywhere I went, Ghanaians told me of the bad nature of their roads.
“So it became obvious to me that the unprecedented infrastructure assertions by John Mahama were untrue”, he stated.
