Member of Parliament for Suame Constituency, Lawyer John Darko, has called on President John Dramani Mahama to ensure the completion of the Suame Interchange using funds secured by the previous administration.
Speaking on the Oyerepa Breakfast Show on Monday, February 10, 2025, hosted by Nana Yaw Mensah Joel, the legislator emphasized that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government had negotiated a $2 billion deal with one Amin Anta before leaving office.
He insisted that a portion of the funds should be allocated to the interchange project, which is critical for easing traffic congestion and boosting economic activities in the Ashanti Region.
“Before leaving office, we (NPP) negotiated a deal worth over $2 billion with Amin Anta to be allocated to the government for various projects. Therefore, we expect President John Mahama to use part of these funds to complete the Suame Interchange. Thankfully, the economy had started recovering before we left office, so there should be no financial constraints for the project. They must prioritize its completion,” he stated.
Lawyer Darko said the funds secured by the NPP government were intended to support key infrastructure projects across the country.
He urged the current administration to fulfil its responsibility by ensuring that the interchange is completed without further delays.
The Suame Interchange has been a major concern for residents and motorists in the region due to increasing traffic congestion and deteriorating road conditions. The project was initiated under the previous administration as part of efforts to improve road infrastructure, but delays in its completion have sparked frustration among commuters and business owners.
