President launches Kumasi roads and urban development projects

President John Agyekum kufuor on Wednesday
launched the Kumasi roads and urban development projects at a ceremony
in Kumasi.
The projects, which are being funded by the Agence Franciase de Developpment (AFD) of the French Government at the cost of 25.5 million
Euros is made up of five components.

They are, the Sokoban Wood Village Access Road and Resettlement Enclave, the 3.2 kilometre Oforikrom-Asokwa By-pass, the Asafo to Ahinsan section of the Lake road, Lake Road interchange and landscaping of the banks of river Aboabo.


The projects are designed to provide the missing link of the ring road between Oforikrom and Anloga. It will also require the relocation of wood workers at Anloga, improve traffic flow on the lake road, remove the bottlenecks at major intersection between the lake road and the ring road as well as enhancing the environment.


The President used the occasion to cut the sod for the commencement of construction works on the Sokoban Wood Village Complex to resettle the Anloga wood workers.
The 100 billion cedis project will involve the construction of access roads from the Bulk Oil Storage Transport road to Sokoban village with walkways and a bridge over river Aboabo and landscaping.


Thirty five 24mx40m sheds for saw millers, 33 18mx36m sheds for carpenters, offices, sanitation facilities, canteens, police health posts as well as commercial buildings will be constructed.


Speaking at the ceremony, President Kufuor said Kumasi had over the past two decades witnessed a phenomenal growth in terms of population, size, social and economic activities, which had not been matched by commensurate infrastructural development, resulting in various forms of inconvenience, including unprecedented levels of traffic congestion.


He said to address the problem, the government with assistance from the AFD, undertook a major transportation planning and traffic management study in 2003 as part of the Road Sector Development Programme.

The President said as a result of the studies a number of strategies had been adopted to manage and improve traffic flow in the city in the short to medium and long terms.


These include the development of the arterial road networks, interchange development programme, traffic management and road safety improvement as well as public transport service improvements.


President Kufuor mentioned the dualisation of the Abuakwa-Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital road, the dualisation of the Ahwiaa-Suame road and the upgrading of the Anloga junction, Sofoline and Suame Roundabout into interchanges, as some of the other road projects which would be implemented soon.


He said the government would pay fair compensation to owners whose properties would be affected to ensure that construction proceeded expeditiously.
The President charged the Department of Urban Roads to ensure the completion of the project not only within time and cost but also to specification.


He commended the French government for its continuous assistance to improve the road network and other infrastructure in the country. Mr Magnus Opare Asamoah, Deputy Minister for Transportation said the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) would own the Sokoban Wood Village and appoint a private firm to manage it in an efficient manner.


He said a further amount of 500,000 Euros had been allocated for the management of the resettlement of the Anloga Wood workers to the Village. Mr. Patrick Mollie, Secretary General of AFD, said one of the major challenges facing the Ghana government was how to improve urban infrastructure and services to the people.'


He said the Sokoban Wood Village project, which was expected to be completed by the end of 2007, would enhance productivity among the wood
workers.


He pledged the continuous assistance of the AFD to the government
to promote development in the Kumasi metropolis.
Mr Emmanuel Asamoah Owusu-Ansah, Ashanti Regional Minister, said the development of urban roads in Kumasi was very dear to the hearts of the residents.

He gave the assurance that, he would not allow anyone to unduly delay
the project and appealed to property owners to contact appropriate government agencies to resolve all issues relating to the project.

Mr Owusu-Ansah also charged the contractors and workers to ensure that
the project did not suffer undue delays.
