KPETOE, GHANA, 15. april 2009: The Minister for Roads and Highways, Mr. Joe Gidisu has expressed concern about the low pace at which tourism is developing in the country, due to lack of access roads to tourism sites, reports The Ghanian Chronicle.
Mr. Gidisu said having identified the problem, his outfit has drawn up a programme to construct roads to tourism sites throughout the country, to open up such areas for development and also boost revenue generation. The Roads and Highways Minister was addressing a durbar of chiefs and people of the Agortime traditional area at Kpetoe in the Adaklu-Anyigbe District to honour the Minister of Tourism and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ho- East, Mrs. Juliana Azumah-Mensah, as the Development Queen mother of Agortime, in view of her contribution to development in the area.
He continued that in fulfillment of government’s commitment to reduce poverty and improve the standard of living of both rural and urban areas, rehabilitation and maintenance works on a number of roads were underway to ensure free movement of people and goods, particularly farmers and business men and women to market centers.
