The Minister for Railways Development, Hon. Joe Ghartey, has assured that before 2020, the rehabilitation and construction of the country’s rail line system would be improved.
“I hope and pray we would achieve that by 2020,” the sector Minister said in an interview with Peacefmonline.com.
According to Hon. Joe Ghartey, his Ministry's wish is in fulfillment of the pledge made by President Akufo-Addo and captured in the New Patriotic Party’s 2016 election Manifesto.
The Minister for Railways Development disclosed that over 200 companies so far, from countries like the United States of America, Dubai, South Africa, Switzerland, Germany, China and Ghana, have shown interest in the development of Ghana’s railways, and have submitted proposals to this effect.
As to whether Ghana will have an efficient rail line system running across the country, the minister said “we are looking at rehabilitating the old ones then we can focus on building new ones across the country. We have engineers working on that.”
Adding that “We will do what is right for the interest of the people. I have no doubt in mind that we can do that. The engineers are telling me now that there is hope for the rail line from the Volta to Accra. So I am pushing them.”

What makes it empty galore? Doom people like you deserve to die out of the country but that is the world we live in. Does it take 11 months to develop this dreprived rail road system NDC never thought of developing it should we be honest ? NPP will fix it to create more jobs for Ghanaians including these doom people. because they are NDC people so every good thing suggested by their opponents to develop the country is bad. I’m just tired to hear these greedy bastardss.
Empty promises galore!!!! Everytime we hear it. China is insterested in our rail. Denmark is interested in our rail. DoggyLand is interested in our rail. We heard it during Jak's time. We heard it during Mills' time. We heard it during Mahama's time (Mahama said Czech pple will do light railway in Accra when he was vice - where is it?) Today, you too you are saying it. If railways are built with our mouth, Ghana will have a railway leading to every house. Build the railway with Ghanaian engineers and stop these bulllllshittt empty promises. We are tired of NPP pple using the same promises that NDC used.
