Are toll booths for specific regions? What criteria was used to Determine that?<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if we had one in Nyoli a border between upper west and northern region, not withstanding what we&#8217;ll pay through them, our roads would be maintained from those monies, that would employ some youth directly, some other traders would use toll booths as a source of income indirectly, Thereby reducing the burden on the government for jobs and also generating revenue for the government.<\/p>\n<p>Based on upperwestmedia.net survey we noticed that due to the previous merger of the two upper regions there couldn&#8217;t have been a booth between Tumu and chuchuliga road in Upper East, Now we are sure we need a toll booth in that area or Possibly Hamile for some revenue to be generated for the purpose of road maintenance and employment either directly or indirectly. &#8211;<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 50 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 Tuesday, 26 December 2017 Source: upperwestmedia.net 2017-12-26 Some toll booths in Accra We should have known the relevance of toll booths by now to know why upperwestmedia.net thinks we should have at least two in the upper west.
