$85m SSNIT loan for roads construction approved
Badu (B/A), March 27, Ghanadot/GNA –
Parliament has approved a loan of 85 million dollars from
the Social Security and National Insurance Trust towards the
construction of a number of roads nationwide.
Mr Joe Danquah, Member of Parliament for Tain Constituency
in Brong-Ahafo announced this at Badu, when he interacted
with Assembly Members and opinion leaders during a visit to
the area.
He said the road network from Tainso to Badu was among the
roads that would benefit from the loan package and explained
that the long existing problems of the people would
therefore be eliminated as well as enhanced the development
of the area.
“Every thing about the tender of the road has been completed
and awaiting the award of the contract”, Mr. Danquah added.
He gave the assurance that the project would start before
the end of the year and advised the people to exercise
restraint since Government would not fail in its promise to
the people.
Mr Yaw Asamoah-Zak, Assembly Member for Badu West, commended
the MP for initiating a number of development programmes in
the area and gave assurance that the people would also offer
him the necessary support and encouragement.
He expressed the hope that, if the Tainso-Badu road was
tarred, the NPP would obtain 100 percent votes in the
forthcoming general election.
