Mkenya2019:
So the entire West Africa cannot run a single national airline. Just show how backward the region really is.

Let say, we found a more profitable way to run airlines.

You may want to ask yourself why KQ has been making losses for more than 10 years.

Shma:
stop it dude.
Even stadium that Kenya is doing bad we beat you on it.
Look at the kind of stadium you're hyping about.

that is a hockey pitch

and it is better than your national stadium that is filled with rocks and potholes.

Mkenya2019:

Fact is

Tanzania is even more developed than Kenya.
Probably Somalia is too

And both airports are better than yours

Wuoche:
Both Dakar and Accra airports handles less than what JKIA handled in 2019.

Justnotyou:
You just dont know when to quit. Try as you have, your words will never be a substitute to actual facts.

you can quote me when you find any index where Kenya will be able to overtake Ghana in Infrastructure.


Next rant pls.


You guys just dont stop making noise

you can tell me what is 33% of 109,515km

Ghana total road network was 78,000km in 1980.
Update yourself.

Ghana is acknowledged internationally as having one of the best road networks in West Africa, with 109,515 km of roads, of which 13,787 km are major roads.

The Ghana Highway Authority has the mandate of constructing and maintenance of roads in the country and has done so by connecting national roads to all the major cities and towns of the country.

The road network is of primary and critical importance to the economy, with more than 95 per cent of people and 98 per cent of goods being transported by road.

Roads make a crucial contribution to the country’s economic development and growth and bring important social benefits.

Additionally, they are of vital importance in order to make a nation grow and develop. Its contribution to providing access to employment, social, health and education services makes a road network crucial in fighting poverty.

Indeed, roads open up more areas and stimulate economic and social development. For these reasons, road infrastructure is the most important of all public assets.

Therefore, maintaining road infrastructure is essential to preserve and enhance those benefits. However, it appears that most roads across that country lack maintenance which has resulted in irreversible deterioration of part of the road network in the country.

Insufficient maintenance and unmotorable roads are known to cause hardships, result in soaring cost of living and a major financial impact on the economy and citizens.

With this in mind, it is important for decision-makers to recognise that roads play a very vital role in the economic life of citizens, especially those in remote areas who experience difficulties transporting their goods, travelling from one point to another within the country or even catching up on new developments.

Improving the general road network in the rural areas is a measure to alleviate poverty. Beyond alleviation of poverty, the importance of rural roads extends to all aspects of development of rural communities including demand for and access to health, education, among others.

However, most rural roads in the country experience numerous challenges in their maintenance which is why we share in the concerns raised by citizens over poor roads in some parts of the country.

The latest to do that is the Paramount Chief of the Tongo Traditional Area, Tongraan Kugbilsong who appealed to the government to adopt accelerated approach to work on poor road networks in the Upper East Region.

This is not the first time that this concern is being raised. Many community leaders and individuals have raised issues about roads and we believe it is time they are tackled as a matter of national priority.

Maintenance and development of road networks offer economic benefits over the long term and that is why, we must take advantage of it and make life comfortable particularly, for those living in rural communities.

What is 23% of 72,000km?
[/b]THE ANSWER IS16,000KM[b] 61% of that 16,000km is in bad shape



General News of Friday, 25 January 2019Source: Peace FMIt's a shame only 23% of our entire road network is paved - Roads Minister« PrevNext »Show VideoComments (19)Listen to Article


Click to read all about coronavirus →
Minister for Roads and Highways, Kwasi Amoako Atta has said that the entire roads of the country including urban, feeder and highways comprising 72,381km of roads has only 23 percent paved and 77 percent unpaved.

The roads Minister explained the paved roads as roads which have been tarred with bitumen; thus, this means that from independence of the country till date, Ghana can only boast of 23 percent of roads being tarred with bitumen, while 77 percent of the roads are yet to see bitumen.

Speaking to Peacefmonline.com at the 'Meet-The-Press' series under the patronage of the Ministry of Information on Tuesday, Hon. Amoako-Atta said “it is very dangerous; we have a lot of work to do in Ghana. All of us as Ghanaians must bow down our heads in shame that a country like Ghana which is 62 years has 77 percent of roads unpaved”.

According to him, complains of Ghanaians regarding bad roads are in the right direction and understandable; thus complains show the seriousness of Ghanaians to see changes in the country.

“Those of us who have had the opportunity to rule this country from independence to date, this is not what we should give to Ghanaians. Due to this huge deficit, we have a lot of responsibilities and that is why the current government of NPP under President Akufo-Addo is seriously tackling all road issues in the country,” he stated.



He bemoaned that the Akufo-Addo government inherited huge debt in billions and bad roads as even 61[b] percent of the paved roads are still in bad shape.
[/b]
“What we inherited is huge; the debt accrued is huge and there are a lot of bad roads. Even out of the paved roads, 61 percent are in bad shape and the debt we inherited are in billions. This is not a minute issue we are dealing with,” he bemoaned.

Hon. Kwasi Amoako-Atta however pleaded with Ghanaians to exercise patience inasmuch as their request for good roads is legitimate as the Akufo-Addo’s administration is boldly tackling road issues in the country.

Acadavah:
This is East Africa according to United nations, African Union and CAF.

Mkenya2019:
International ex-pats are the reason you find a world-class residence in Nairobi. Of course, there is local demand but don't think anybody will pay 5K dollars per month rent in Enugu

Here we dont need international ex-pats before we put up world class residence

Our people are rich enough to put them up and live in it.

samorobo:
We were told construction would commence on January..what happened?.
Us this another incessant wet pipe dream like that 140m litres Nairobi water project

what screenshot again?

Mzal3ndo:
That is why i sent another screenshot with multiple sources saying its in East African, just google this stuff....

Since you dont know what infrastructure entails

Let me educate you

Such an illiterate.


What you posted was a world bank report on transhipment of logistics from Airport, Habour and rail.


Infrastructure involves
Roads
Harbours
Airports
Hospitals
Energy
Electricity
Water
Sanitation
telecommunication
Transport
and etc

come back again


You guys know the obvious that your Kenya will forever be behind Ghana when infrastructure is concern
Yet you will always make noise. The noise wont make Kenya less of a shithole than it already is.

And as for cement consumption, Everyone already knows that your country is 20 years behind Ghana.

Justnotyou:
You're an illiterate. The Logistics Performance Index will deal with logistics like, what do you think infrastructure entails? cement & you're not even close to Uganda leave alone Kenya bruh.

Justnotyou:
WB has Kenya ranked higher... Do us the favor of posting AfDB, WEF & let's put this to rest.

https://lpi.worldbank.org/international/global/2018

AfDB, WEF and Mercer were posted yesterday

you can refer back to them.


Did you even check what you posted?
That is WB ranking on rail,Ports and Airports (A ranking on logistic Transhipment)
And you were even barely at Ghana's level

Not infrastructure ranking


You guys are always beating around the bush

gallivant:
Any international destinations or awards yet?

talk about awards after KQ make a profit (Positive profit)

gallivant:
Story for the gods.

rant on

Mzal3ndo:
I said east African countries range from Eritrea to Madagascar, meaning all this countries in between are termed as East African nations. From what i understood you disputed Madagascar being in East Africa so i posted a screenshot that show that it is in East Africa and I added Malawi so that you could see to what geographical extent a nation can be termed as an East African nation.

Your screenshot said it was Southern African country just off the coast of east Africa.

never said it was an East African country

always running after blogs

try harder

Now they have 20 wide body aircraft and adding more profitable routes.

gallivant:
It say 3 planes on wiki.

gallivant:
Dont need to.

Thats all you do.

The airline began with 5 Boeing 737 and 767

It has since ramped up it acquisition

gallivant:
You are an embarassment to Ghana. Keep venting dumbass. Goldstar has 3 planes.

You can keep ranting now

gallivant:
Who is?

Golstar is

gallivant:
Only in your dreams. KQ also owns the biggest airline in Tanzania, Precision Air which in itself is bigger than any airline in West Africa.

They are still larger than KQ.

KQ is an unprofitable business

gallivant:
KQ flies to Ghana. Jambojet is owned by KQ. Any more tantrums?

They are still larger than KQ and they make a profit.

Facts

Shores have more ships than Kenya

edon21:
airpeace has more planes than kenya

gallivant:
They are all smaller than Jambojet.

They are larger than KQ

Zombie

They don't fly any route in Ghana.

gallivant:
Hobbit, KQ does fly to Accra. Can you try yo be honest for a second?



Lance Armstrong was the first man on the moon. Any other unrelated news you would like to share?

gallivant:
Imagine if it didnt? Imagine if you had no gold? Uganda would be an inspiration to you then.

If we had no gold, we will still be developed than your country.

Natural resources are not what develop countries, their human resource does.

You ask and i showed you the country you can compare your country with, since Kenya and SOMALIA are in the same underdevelopment league

gallivant:
This guy and unnecessary tirades!

Do you want to compare literacy rates? Just name it hobbit.

gallivant:
Name them, so we can compare them to our private airlines.

Goldstar
AWA
and so many others

Justnotyou:
Yes the Ghanaian said so hence it was... Why don't you let us shower away our ignorance with just one respectable source that supports your claim.

Post any source and they will support my claim.

WB
AfDB
WEF
The SAns have been posting Mercer

Post any

Sorry

KQ does not have enough planes and does not fly Ghana.
The market here is already captured by highly competitive profit-making businesses.

Mr dry bone.

Ghana airways was the first airline to fly with an all African crew around the world.

gallivant:
Hobbit, KQ flies to every continent and region. Did Ghana Airways ever venture out of Ghana?

Oil contributes less to the Ghanian economy

gallivant:
In that case, then oil is really a curse.
