Keta Port project to be commissioned soon
Keta Port Project to be Commissioned soon!
As the December 7 election approaches, it’s hard to ignore the echoes of promises about the much-touted Keta Port Project.
Year after year, Finance Ministers of this government have stood before Parliament with straight faces, declaring that the port’s construction is “visibly in progress”.
Yet, for residents and stakeholders in Keta, this so-called progress remains as elusive as rain in the harmattan season.
Perhaps our leaders have a vision we lack. Maybe they see the progress through special lenses invisible to the ordinary Ghanaian. For those of us without such privileges, the project seems to exist only in brochures and budget line items.
The Finance Ministry might argue otherwise, but we’re yet to see a single cargo ship, container terminal, or even a groundbreaking ceremony worthy of mention.
Your Excellency, the President, we humbly ask: Will this legendary port also be miraculously commissioned before the December 7 elections, after the projects at UHAS and the interchanges? Or perhaps by year’s end, just in time to “open the port for business”?
The suspense is palpable, as we see the bustling anchorage of the fleet of ships eagerly awaiting to berth after the grand opening of Keta’s invisible harbor.
Until then, we’ll keep an eye on the fleet of ships waiting in Togo waters on anchorage.
