On every litre, we pay 48 pesewas as road fund levy. 48p\u00d75 billion litres is 2.4 billion cedis. We are told that each kilometre of asphalt cost 1.5 million Ghana cedis. Divide 2.4 billion by 1.5 million and you\u2019ll get 1600km of road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that every year, Ghana should be able to build at least 1600km of road from the road fund alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s assume that money from the road fund will be used to build 6 lane roads. (Three lanes on each side) 1600 divided by 6 is a little over 266km; Accra to Kumasi is just 248km. We can build more than that every year from just the road fund. The Accra Tema motorway which is 4 lanes is just 19km. If it is built into a 6 Lane highway with the road fund, we should be able to build 14 motorways every year. Why don\u2019t we have good roads? Why can\u2019t we fix the motorway? Because our debt to GDP is 83% and our government expenditure is evil!! As for corruption, management and willfully causing financial loss to the state, let\u2019s not go there,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Plus insisted that Ghana has enough funds to do roads but corruption and mismanagement are responsible for the poor road infrastructure in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGhana is not broke. Y\u025b te sika so papa; adwen b\u0254ne ne abr\u0254 nti, \u025bk\u0254m de y\u025bn!\u201d He concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Government declared 2020 and 2021 Year of Roads and Second Year of Roads respectively but not much has been seen in terms of a marked improvement in road construction. Every now and then, demonstrations are staged by aggrieved Persons calling for their roads to be fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mynewsgh.com\/\">MyNewsGh.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musician and political activist A Plus( Kwame Asare Obeng) has argued that money raised from tax on fuel a year can construct 1600km of road on a yearly basis, the 1600km of road is more than enough to make the perilous Accra-Kumasi road a six-lane highway to reduce carnage on the road.
