  "summary": "President John Mahama has announced that the Ghana Armed Forces Engineer Regiment will be participating in the construction of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway, serving as a major subcontractor to the main contractor. This decision is based on the Regiment's readiness and state of mobilisation on the road, making it logical for them to contribute to the project. Mahama has directed the Minister of Roads and Highways to include the Engineer Regiment as the major subcontractor on the project. Additionally, the Regiment will be deployed to the Greater Accra Orbital to establish and clear the Right of Way for the Greater Accra Ring Road.",
