During the second day of their tour, the Upper West Parliamentary Caucus, led by MP Dr. Sebastian Sandaare, joined the Upper West Regional Minister and the Regional Security Council to inspect ongoing work on the N12 highway in Ghana. The delegation observed road clearing, drainage works, repairs and asphalt-related activities at various locations, including Tuna, Kulmasa and Gindabuo.
Regional Minister Charles Lwanga Puozuing expressed satisfaction with the progress made, urging the contractor to speed up construction and complete the asphalted road before President Mahama leaves office. Police, military and security officials were present to ensure the safety of workers and contractors. Melpuoma Limited's Site Manager, Samuel Asante, revealed that crews had been working throughout the week, with some concrete gangs working until 2 a.m. Wa West MP and former police chief, Supt.
(Rtd) Peter Lanchene Toobu, emphasized the employment opportunities created by the project and its potential to reduce crime due to lower idle time. He also suggested converting gravel pits into dugouts to store water for livestock during the dry season. Wa East MP Dr. Godfred Seidu Jasaw proposed using gravel pits for dugouts, addressing both infrastructure and water challenges.
Caucus leader Dr. Sebastian Sandaare reported that the Big Push project is actively progressing, with visible improvements since an earlier inspection four months ago.
