We'll prioritise Keta Port when I become president - Mahama

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has disclosed that his incoming administration will conduct a full audit of the Keta Port to review progress made under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and determine the next steps.

 Speaking during a media event in Ho as part of his campaign visit of the Volta Region, the NDC flagbearer emphasized the significance of undertaking a thorough needs assessment before creating a new port between Tema Harbour and the Port of Lomé, both important ports.

“We will prioritise it and once I become president, one of the first things I will ask for is the feasibility study of the Keta Port and once we have seen it, we will let the public see it and based on that, we can take it from there.

“If there must be a port there, there must be a specialised port for something because we have Tema and we have Lomé because if we are having an intermediate port, is it going to handle the same cargo that Tema and Lomé are handling?

“Those are all things that we have to look at and determine how to move forward and so they should stop playing politics with it and let us see the feasibility study, the design of the port and move forward.”
