It\u2019s one of the saddest and most egregious decisions that was made to allow the railway network that we inherited from the colonial times to get into disuse. And we are paying for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is absolutely essential for the rapid development of our country that we connect the country by railways again and we are going to do it\u2014 very, very soon. The Minister for Railways is going to roll out before the country the exact plans that we have to redevelop our railway infrastructure again. And you can be sure that you, the people here in the Upper East, will be right in the centre of those considerations of railway redevelopment,\u201d the President stated.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 43 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Thursday, 5 October 2017 Source: Starrfmonline.com 2017-10-05 President Akufo-Addo addressing the durbar of chiefs and queens &#13; President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has admitted that his administration is not enthused about the collapse of Ghana&#8217;s railway network, describing it as one of the \u201csaddest and egregious decisions\u201d the country had ever taken.
