The Minister of Finance, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, says government is thinking of extending the construction of the Kasoa-Winneba highway beyond Winneba which was the original planned endpoint.

The Finance Minister stressed that the potential extension of the project is being considered due to the highway’s strategic importance, as it connects to other parts of the region and serves as a vital link to other West African countries.

“This is a highway that links to Takoradi through Cape Coast and beyond. So I was discussing with the Roads and Highways Minister that we should extend this contract if possible to the border given the quality of work being done here and that will bring significant relief to the people and so the Roads and Highways Minister and I will work together to see how we support this project.

All the investments we are making are intended to make movement easier for people to move goods to bring efficiency and productivity to the work that we do in Ghana and so I want to assure the Minister that the Ministry of Finance will continue to provide its support to ensure the completion of this project” he said 

Dr. Amin Adam in the company of the Minister for Roads and Highways, Francis Asenso-Boakye, on an inspection tour of the project site assured that the Ministry of Finance is committed to releasing funds promptly to facilitate the construction.
