Tragedy struck at the newly constructed Kwame Nkrumah Interchange late Wednesday as a cargo vehicle fell off the flyover and partially landed onto a loading 207 passenger bus.
The trailer vehicle was climbing the interchange when it lost its balance and fell, with the loading passenger vehicle bearing some brunt of the fall.
Discussion on the Ghanaian political landscape within the past few days have been saturated with the newly constructed Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, after it was commissioned by the President at a ceremony Monday.
The debate has been so politicised there seems to be no middle ground anywhere. NDC supporters claim it is the greatest thing Ghana has ever seen and NPP supporters claim it adds no value to the lives of Ghanaians – there is no middle ground.
The President, John Dramani Mahama, commissioned the Ghc 320m newly refurbished Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange on Monday and it was a joyous day for the ruling party who believe the project an embodiment of the kind of development they are bringing to Ghana.
The ceremony, aired live on majority of the local tv stations, was graced by a massive crowd, numerous government functionaries and of course, some entertaining faces.
President John Dramani Mahama will today commission Accra’s newly built GH₵320.2 Million Kwame Nkrumah Interchange with colourful lights on full display–but not every Ghanaians is impressed.
On Facebook, several Ghanaians questioned why the commissioning will be done at night–with some replying that the night would allow the government to beautify the interchange with colorful lights to ‘fool’ Ghanaians.
Kwame Karikari wrote on Facebook: “This is beautiful but guess what, it is NEON LIGHTS—- let’s learn to demand what is profound from the people we choose to lead us.”
