Government to tar over 1,000
kilometres road
Mankranso (Ash), Dec. 25, Ghanadot/GNA - Over 1,000
kilometres of feeder roads would be given a face-lift
throughout the country next year.
Five 15-kilometre roads in each of the 166 districts would
be constructed and tarred.
Mr. Stephen Balado Manu, Member of Parliament for the
Ahafo-Ano South, said this at the fourth ordinary meeting of
the assembly on Monday.
He said other areas include the provision of the five
communities in each district with electricity and portable
water and that they were designed as poverty reduction
strategies.
Mr Manu said long-term loans would be given to cocoa,
cashew, citrus and other cash crop farmers within six months
to expand their farms.
He appealed to the people to honour their tax obligations,
and the "talk time taxes" on mobile phones could enable the
government to generate funds to support the National Youth
Employment Programme (NYEP).
