Ghanaians React As Ato Forson Brags About Successfully Funding The Accra-Kumasi Expressway

According to a report by GHOne TV yesterday which was Thursday, November 12, 2026, Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson has disclosed that the government has successfully secured funding for the construction of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway, despite earlier doubts about Ghana’s financial ability to undertake the major infrastructure project.

Ato Forson made the revelation while highlighting the government’s efforts to move forward with the proposed expressway. He recalled that there were concerns and claims that Ghana would not be able to raise the necessary funds to finance the project. However, according to him, the government has now secured the funding required to support the initiative.

The Finance Minister’s comments suggest that the government has made progress in addressing the financial challenges that were previously associated with the expressway project.

The Accra-Kumasi corridor is one of Ghana’s important transportation routes, connecting the national capital to Kumasi, a major commercial and economic centre. Thousands of motorists, traders, transport operators and other road users depend on the route for their daily activities.

The proposed expressway is therefore considered a significant infrastructure development, particularly because of the importance of improving transportation between the two major cities.

Ato Forson’s announcement has renewed attention on the government’s plans for the project, with many Ghanaians expected to follow developments concerning its implementation.

The availability of funding is an important step towards the realisation of any major infrastructure project. However, public interest will also focus on the construction schedule, procurement arrangements and the eventual delivery of the road.

By announcing that the government has secured funding, Ato Forson has sought to dismiss earlier concerns about the country’s ability to finance the Accra-Kumasi Expressway.

His statement also reinforces the government’s position that the project can move forward despite the financial doubts that were previously expressed about its feasibility.
