President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to completing the Sewua Hospital by the end of the year, emphasizing his administration’s determination to revive stalled projects.
Speaking to the clergy in Kumasi on Sunday, Mahama highlighted how several initiatives launched during his previous tenure had been left unfinished. “I’ve assured Otumfuo that we’ll complete the Sewua hospital this year. The completion would allow us to decongest Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital so that important rehabilitation works can continue there,” he stated.
He also provided updates on the Afari Military Hospital, revealing that discussions with the project’s contractors, Euroget De-Invest S.A, had been productive. “I have spoken to the managers of Euroget De-Invest S.A, and they have assured me that they will resume work in earnest at the Afari military hospital to ensure its speedy completion,” he noted.
Turning to road infrastructure, Mahama addressed the Suame Interchange and other road projects, acknowledging the funding challenges that have slowed progress. “We are looking for sources of funding to speed up the work on this project so that we can ease the condition and inconvenience that the residents of Kumasi face,” he assured.
He also touched on the delayed second phase of the Kejetia Market project, which was impacted by Ghana’s debt exchange program. With official negotiations with the creditor committee now concluded, Mahama expressed confidence that discussions with lenders would soon resume. “Now that we have finished the official negotiations with the official creditor committee, it opens the way for us to have bilateral discussions with the lenders in order that they can resume work on Kumasi Market phase 2,” he added.
His remarks underscored a broader commitment to infrastructure development, aiming to alleviate challenges faced by residents and ensure the timely completion of key national projects.
