  "account": "The Ghanaian government has announced its intention to recommence construction of the Dome-Kitase Road, a vital link between the Greater Accra and Eastern regions. This decision was made pursuant to the Big Push Infrastructure Programme, as announced by the Ministry of Roads and Highways. In a social media post, the ministry stated that Roads and Highways Minister Kwame Agbodza had instructed the contractor, First Sky Limited, to fully mobilise to the site by the close of business this week. The project had been halted in 2022 as a result of Ghana's debt restructuring programme, at which point it had advanced only 27 percent of the way to completion.\n\nThe newly expanded scope of the project now includes an additional 10 kilometres of connecting roads to nearby communities, with the objective of enhancing accessibility and connectivity throughout the area. The ministry affirmed that it is taking decisive action to ensure the project resumes fully and progresses without pause, with the contractor expected to return to the site by the end of this week. Minister Agbodza expressed his desire to witness continuous work until the project is completed, scheduled for completion by the end of 2028. This decision to prioritize the road is part of the government's broader strategy to address infrastructure needs nationwide.",
