This will eliminate needless traffic, particularly from large articulated cargo vehicles that pass through the city. President Mahama said during his Sunday fellowship with the clergy, “because they would have an opportunity to connect with the Mampong and Techiman roads through Ejisu.”

He also gave the people the assurance that measures are being taken to guarantee that phase 2 construction of the Kejetia Market and the Suame Interchange will continue.

Although he admitted that these projects and other road construction were started without specific funding, he highlighted the significance of locating funding sources to hasten their completion. Other road construction projects, including the Suame Interchange, were started without specific funding.

However, we must find funding sources. When President Mahama met with the clergy on Sunday, he said, “We are searching for funding sources to expedite the work on this project so that we can ease the condition and inconvenience that the residents of Kumasi face.”

He also talked about the debt exchange’s impact on the Kejetia Market phase 2 project, which has halted.

Following the conclusion of formal negotiations with the creditor committee, President Mahama voiced optimism about the project’s ability to resume work.

Due to the debt exchange, the second phase of the Kumasi and Kejetia markets has stopped moving. We can now conduct bilateral talks with the lenders so they can start working on Kumasi Market phase 2 now that we have completed the formal negotiations with the official creditor committee,” he continued.
