SONA 2024: List Of Stalled Projects On Gov’t Radar For Completion
Eight stalled projects are on the radar of the Akufo-Addo-led government for completion. These projects have been characterized as priority projects, according to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
As such they have been migrated onto the Government of Ghana (GOG) budget within the same fiscal space to ensure their completion.
Two of them are in the Ashanti Region.
They include the Kumasi International Airport, the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) Maternity Block in Kumasi, the Takoradi Interchange, the Obetsebi-Lamptey Interchange in Accra, the University of Environment and Sustainable Development Project at Bunso in the Eastern Region, phase two of the construction of roads in Tamale, and the construction of the eighty-four-kilometre (84km) railway line between Tema and Akosombo.
Additionally, the government has secured an alternative source of funding for the reconstruction and completion of the La Hospital Project as well as its tooling.
The funds, he said, will also ensure the hospital is fitted with the necessary equipment for diagnosis and treatment.
“The contractor has been paid an advance mobilisation of fifteen per cent (15%), representing some seven-point-five million dollars (US$7.5 million), and work has begun. The project commenced, effectively, in January this year, and will be completed in twenty-eight (28) months,” he relayed during the presentation of the State of the Nation Address (SONA).
