Statement

We are scoping phase two of the program to start next year. And I want to assure you, some of the roads that have not yet been captured are being captured in the phase two of the big push. So currently, the road from Sawla Tuna through Wa and actually starts from Wenchi, Wenchi to Bamboi to Bole, and then to Tuna, to Sawla, Tuna, and then to Wa.

That whole stretch is being re-engineered. And this time it’s going to be an asphaltic concrete road, not a bituminous surface road. And then also the road linking WA to Hamile to Burkina Faso is also going to be under reconstruction.

We’re also linking Wa through Han, Tumu to Navrongo and to Bolgatanga. It’s currently been awarded to different contractors who are busy….
