Bawumia Pushes 30-Year Masterplans After Japan Visit

Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called for a fundamental shift in Ghana’s planning approach after final meetings with Japan’s infrastructure giants JICA, Nippon Koei, CTI Engineering, and Oriental Consultants Global.

“What stood out most was Japan’s approach to planning. Japan takes the long view. They build consensus around a plan and then commit to executing it over 30 years,” he said in a social media post.

He said there is little risk of a new government in Japan abandoning the work of a previous government and added, “That is a major difference between Japan and Ghana.”

Bawumia argues Ghana must have agreed master plans in critical areas like coastal erosion, flood mitigation and public transport that all political parties sign up to, so execution continues regardless of who wins power.

“Let us have agreed masterplans… and let all political parties sign up to them. So that no matter who forms the government, the plan will be executed until it is completed.”

Bawumia is on a working visit to Japan focusing on disaster risk reduction and infrastructure planning.
