The Mahama-led government is set to make good on its promise to improve Bono Region’s infrastructure, as President John Dramani Mahama is scheduled to officiate a sod-cutting ceremony at Watchman tomorrow. The event marks the commencement of major road projects, including the Sunyani Outer Ring Road and key links to Atronie, Acherensua, Wenchi, Berekum, and Jinijini.
Key Projects:
– Sunyani Outer Ring Road
– Sunyani-Atronie-Acherensua Road
– Sunyani-Wenchi-Berekum Road
– Jinijini-Sampa Road
The initiative is expected to boost economic development, improve transportation, and enhance regional connectivity.
The move has been welcomed by locals, who have long complained about the poor state of roads in the region.
Opposition Reacts:
The NPP has welcomed the development, with Regional Chairman, Sam Adu-Amoah, acknowledging the importance of the projects.
However, he questioned the government’s timing, suggesting it’s a “political gorkpor” ahead of the 2026 elections.
This move is seen as another milestone in Mahama’s “Big Push” programme, aimed at improving Ghana’s infrastructure. His supporters argue it’s a testament to his commitment to development, while critics say it’s a belated attempt to win votes.
Tomorrow’s ceremony is expected to draw large crowds, with many eager to see the President’s vision for Bono Region’s infrastructure become a reality.
