The initiative he noted was in collaboration with the French Embassy, adding, it would reduce the traffic congestion in Kumasi.
“You all understand the number of hours people keep in traffic before they go to undertake various economic and social ventures and the cost to the nation and to the people, therefore, it is important that we hold this project to the heart and make sure it works well and become sustainable too.”
“It helps us to resolve a lot of these issues and if we are able to bring on board the BRT, then we are also going to decongest the city of a lot of vehicles and get larger capacity vehicles,” he said.
