Folks,I urge you once again to disregard claims by NPP partisans here,that the Tema to Mpakadan Rail project,sections of which are pictured below, is the initiative of President Akufo-Addo.
That is a another blatant lie and the facts around that project are as follows.
The NDC Government in October,2016, secured $398.330 million from the Indian EXIM Bank and at its 14th sitting on 31st October,2016, the 6th Parliament of the 4th Republic approved the credit facility.
On 18th November,2016, the Government of Ghana through the Ghana Railway Development Authority, singed a contract with the contractors for the project, Messrs AFCON Infrastructure Limited, for the construction of an 84.832 km rail line from Tema to Akosombo.
In March,2020, the Akufo-Addo government secured and had Parliament approve $ 48.8 million from the same EXIM Bank of India for the extension of the project from 84.832 km to 97. 625 km which an extension of 13 km between Akosombo and Mpakadan.
