The Housing Minister of Ghana, Kenneth Gilbert Adjei, has declared that the planned drainage improvement works and temporary road closure on the Kaneshie-Winneba Highway is a national security issue. During a monitoring visit, Adjei emphasized that the project's scope and potential impact extend beyond a routine construction exercise, given that the 1,500-metre stretch is on one of Ghana's critical highways.
He expressed dissatisfaction with the previous work of the contractor and stressed that the Ministries of Finance, Roads and Highways, and National Security must be consulted and involved in the planning process before construction begins. Adjei warned that any road closure without proper planning could create serious disruptions and pose a national security concern, underscoring the need for a comprehensive and coordinated approach to managing the project to minimize traffic congestion, protect public safety, and prevent disruptions along the Kaneshie-Winneba corridor.
