Kojo Oppong Nkrumah <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cabinet has given approval for the construction of new cocoa roads
\nin the country to ease vehicular movement.<\/p>\n

Estimated to cost about GH\u00a23 billion, the project would ensure the
\nconstruction of several new roads. Virtually, the documentation work on the
\ncocoa roads project has been done so far, for which reason the project will
\ncommence very soon.<\/p>\n

Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah made the announcement to
\njournalists in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region on Friday. He said the government
\nhad managed to raise a whopping GH\u00a23 billion to finance the road projects.<\/p>\n

The occasion was the Meet-the-Press series of the Ministry of
\nInformation, which eventually was held in Kumasi on Friday morning. The New
\nPatriotic Party (NPP) government has been using the Meet-the-Press programme to
\nexplain key government policies and projects to Ghanaians.<\/p>\n

Mr. Oppong Nkrumah pointed out: \u201cWe shall soon publish the cocoa
\nroads project in the media for everybody to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the project would help to repair several damaged roads in
\nthe country. He disclosed that some selected roads, especially those that link
\ncocoa producing areas, which are in a deplorable state, would be tackled.<\/p>\n

Unlike during the previous administration when financing for cocoa
\nroads became a challenge, he said: \u201cThis project will take off smoothly. The
\ngovernment has worked tirelessly to raise GH\u00a23 billion to finance the roads so
\nthere will not be any financial constraints.\u201d<\/p>\n

The minister, who answered questions from journalists, also talked
\nabout security and other pressing national issues.<\/p>\n
