President Mahama Vows to Complete Sewua Hospital by Year-End, Revitalize Stalled Projects in Kumasi

President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to completing the Sewua Hospital by the end of the year.

 Speaking to the clergy in Kumasi, President Mahama emphasized that several projects initiated under his previous administration had stalled, but he is determined to see them through to completion.

“I’ve assured Otumfuo that we’ll complete the Sewua hospital this year,” President Mahama said. “The completion would allow us to decongest Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital so that important rehabilitation works can continue there.” This assurance underscores the President’s focus on improving healthcare infrastructure and alleviating the pressure on existing facilities.

In addition to the Sewua Hospital, President Mahama also highlighted other projects that have stalled due to lack of funding. These include the Suame Interchange and various road works, which were commenced without dedicated funding. The President acknowledged the need to secure funding sources to expedite these projects and ease the conditions faced by Kumasi residents.

“We are looking for sources of funding to speed up the work on this project so that we can ease the condition and inconvenience that the residents of Kumasi face,” he said. This statement demonstrates the President’s commitment to finding solutions to the challenges facing the region.

President Mahama also addressed the stalled Kejetia Market phase II project, which was affected by the debt exchange. With official negotiations with the creditor committee concluded, the President expressed optimism about resuming bilateral discussions with lenders to restart work on the project.

“Now that we have finished the official negotiations with the official creditor committee, it opens the way for us to have bilateral discussions with the lenders in order that they can resume work on Kumasi Market phase 2,” he added. This development is expected to revitalize the project and bring relief to traders and residents in the area.
