Suame Interchange, Kejetia Market projects will resume soon - President Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has assured residents of the Ashanti Region that his government will restart several stalled infrastructure projects in Kumasi and other parts of the region.

Speaking at a thanksgiving service with the clergy in Kumasi on Sunday, March 2 2025, Mr Mahama outlined projects such as the Suame Interchange, Kumasi Kejetia Market Phase Two, and the Sewuah Hospital as priorities for his administration.

He disclosed that negotiations with contractors and creditors were ongoing to facilitate the resumption of work.

“I have spoken to the managers of Euroget De-Invest, the contractors for the military hospital, and they have assured me that work will restart soon,” he said.

Mr Mahama noted that the Kejetia Market project had been delayed due to Ghana’s debt exchange programme but said recent negotiations with international creditors had cleared the way for its completion.

“The Suame Interchange and other road projects were initiated without dedicated funding, but we are actively seeking financial support to ease congestion and improve road conditions in Kumasi,” he added.

He reaffirmed his government’s commitment to infrastructure development in the Ashanti Region, describing it as a major economic hub that must not be overlooked.
