A re you sure you want to talk about station?

Just30:
I just give you 2 reports

you can do the analyses.


you are still yet to prove your road network in Kenya is even up to 10% paved like you were alleging.

Current figures put it at 13,000km of tarred roads .
13,000km is less than 7% of 200,000km which is Kenya total road network

He like the way how you have given in . For Kenya, here is the evidence of our current road status. Download this document and scroll up to page 217 to see for yourself the 21,000km we are talking about.

Even railways we still beat you at that, Tanzania is still building their railway come and see, Nigeria has done Abuja-Kaduna, we are now doing Lagos-Ibadan, next up is Kaduna-kano and Ibadan-Abuja and Ibadan-kano, railways first stations next.

See how the stations are very dirty

Just30:
Yes the first link has the correct figure from Ghana Highways authority.

The second link is from the person you've been quoting.

So which one do you want us to go with? Cause when it comes to the first link, it is 109,000km with no tarmacked percentage. So I`ll use the 12% from the economics which will give us 12,000km of paved roads

Just30:
established from where

2004 figures?

another joke

Your are even yet to catch up to our 2004 percentage and its been 16 years already.

keep trying

You have 12,000km of paved roads.

Just30:
Trading economics posted that from 2004

next joke so i can laugh


12.6% was Ghana tarred roads in 2004

So you have been having 109,000km of road network since 2004? . My friend just accept that your lies has reached the end and move on.

Just30:
next guess


simple maths

what is 27% of 109515
and what is 33% of 109515

Joke is on you

In your links I haven`t seen 27% of 109,000km. If you have it please share the screenshot.

See how desparate and confuse you are, the first link says that Ghana has a road network of 109,000km while the second link says that Ghanian road network stand at 780,000km with 27% of it paved, I f I may ask, do you know what 27% of 780,000km is? . My calculations give me 210,000km as the answer.

Now check the pics below and tell yours where you got your imaginary 109,515km ?

Thank you broh .

Nothing like 18k max. Their paved road network stands at 12k

Shma:
your road network is barely 12k km to 16k km.
I will give you 18k km max.

Shma:
it might be true going by the satellite representation.
So the section of paved road is not that far from 12, 000km.

Yeah . He first disputed the 16,000km. Now his number has gotten us to 12,000km of paved roads

Ok, because you don`t want me to quote your transport minister, let`s go by your figure of 109,000km road network. Now out of that 109,000km, only 12.6% of it is tarmacked. Please you can do the maths for us

The first time, he said 780,000km and the next time he did, he went for a more conservative figure of 72,000km which was below 1980 figures.

While you go back to Kenyatta and ask him why since independence, Kenya has only tarred 5% of it roads at 10,000km

When Ghana has done 36,000km (33%) as at 2019

Show me link which states that you have paved 36.000km of roads. In Kenya, the total paved roads stood at 21,000km in 2019 and I can provide you with evidence. For now it`s your turn to show us the evidence.

Such underdevelopment

You won`t find a single pothole in Nairobi Mombasa highway. In the mean time you can continue tarmacking your roads to reach atleast 18000km

Just30:
and who said that is wikipedia.


You can keep quoting him despite the fact that he give a false figure and it wont make Kenya to have less roads than Ghana.


Just to add to your woes,
He also said 27% last year

Of the total road network of more than 780,000 kilometres under the portfolio of the Ministry of Roads and Highways, only 27 per cent are paved.

The paved roads are made up of trunk, feeder and urban with 41 per cent of the total network in good condition.

Mr Kwesi Amoako-Attah, the Minister of Roads and Highways, said this at the second Ghana-Japan High Quality Infrastructure Conference in Accra on Tuesday.

He said the figure had stagnated over the past five years due to dwindling budget allocations, but assured that the government under its transformational agenda was undertaking a novel way to improve on the infrastructure.

“Public Private Partnership (PPP) and other innovative Private Financing arrangements have been viewed by Ghana as a strategic way to harness the skills and finances of the private sector to deliver and close the gap in all the infrastructural sectors especially for road projects,” he said.

“The Government therefore continues to explore and refine these arrangements as a solution to developing roads along economically vital transport corridors. The development of infrastructure will also create jobs through the private sector,” Mr Amoako-Attah said.

Ghana’s medium-term goal, he explained, was to ensure a resilient built environment while safeguarding the natural environment.

Mr Amoako-Attah stated that the Government was clearing the backlog of outstanding bills and procuring new projects across the country through competitive tender processes.

Aside the roads sector, he said the Government was pursuing an aggressive program of streamlining business processes at the ports and in the public sector in order to attract and retain investors.

“All these measures are intended to create a business-friendly environment that will assure all investors of the security of their investments,” he noted.

Mr Samuel Atta Akyea, Minister for Works and Housing, said infrastructure roll out was capital intensive hence the need for partnership to invigorate the economy.

“Whenever there is a suffering economy the means to jumpstart it is through infrastructural development,” he said.

He said the housing deficit of the country had climb beyond two million and that the government was exploring avenue including using the pool of pension funds to finance housing.

Mr Akyea stated that the drainage system of Dr Kwame Nkrumah was weak and could not sustain the sprawling city of Accra and the government was taking effective steps to fix it.

“It is important to note that those who disregard issues of water and sanitation pay in high currency through health of the people,” he said.

Mr Tsutomu Himeno, Japanese Ambassador to Ghana, said after the first edition of the conference held in 2017, the interest of Japanese companies had been high and urged government to continue to create the conducive environment to enable them operate.

Please stop multiplying figures, Your road network was around 70,000 by last year which only 23% was paved
In 2017, Ghana had a road network of 67,000km with only 17% of those tarmaced. So please stop multiplying numbers here

Road Class and Surface Conditions
It is estimated that Ghana has about 67,291 km of road network today. Of this, 12,785 km are trunk roads, 42,394 km are feeder roads and 12,112 km are urban roads. 83% of trunk roads, 36% of urban roads and 72% of feeder roads are considered being in either good or fair condition. The network size, of which only 17% is paved, grows at an average rate of 8% per year.

Just30:
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.

I don`t dal with Wikipedia please. This is another article 2020 February. They have repeated the same thing,


Ghana to construct five critical roads in the Upper West Region

Ghana to construct five critical roads in the Upper West Region


The government of Ghana has announced plans to construct five critical in Upper West Region. Mr Amoako Atta, the Minister for Roads and Highways, disclosed the plans and said the development will be under the government’s Critical Roads Project.

“The President has directed the Minister of Finance to raise special funding to fund these critical projects across the country. We will also concentrate on routine maintenance of the roads all-year-round to make the roads serviceable in all three categories,” said Mr Amoako Atta.

Upper West Region road project
The roads to be constructed include; the 31km Wa-Bulenga-Yala road, the 56km Fian-Issa-Wahabu road, the 41km Wahabu-Funsi-Yala road, the 20km Wechiau-Ga road and the 22km Wa-Han road.

Upon completion the roads are expected to open up the region for massive economic activity, thereby improving the lives of the people in the area. Additionally, all gravelled roads totalling about 5,200km in the Region would be graded before the onset of the rains in June 2020.

The Upper West Region has a total road network of 3,607km out of which about 540km was paved and 344km at both gravelled and earth stages. The Roads Minister further disclosed that 61% of roads under the Ghana Highways Authority (GHA) were good, while 38% are fair and 1% are in poor conditions. Under the Department of Urban Roads on the other hand, 30% of its roads were considered to be good, 7% fair and 63% are in poor conditions.

There are approximately 72,000km of roads in the country out of which 23% had been asphalted with 39% in good condition while the rest are classified as fair or poor.

i gave you the reason it happens that way . It is not because the passenger are flying in to your museum looking airport but using it as a stop over to their destination. Same thing apply to Ethiopia airport. I hardly doubt you are doing more better In Passenger than lagos

How many domestic passengers did you recorded last year?

If this is it then it's very small and basic...I wonder why your nigga has been posting renders to give us this impression that you are under some serious mall boom when infact I am aware that mall construction has dropped drastically..

Mall construction is still ongoing. Let me take you to Kisumu where there are more malls than lagos. In Kisumu there is saturation of malls but investors are still building more.

Mushrooming of malls in Kisumu leads to saturation

Summary
Following the completion of the Sh4.2 billion Lake Basin Mall, other shopping centres that have entered the scene include Mega City and West End, as well as Tuff Foam Mall, still under construction.

According to the 2018 Kenya Retail Sector Report, Kisumu is oversupplied by 200,000 square feet, yet additional mall spaces are coming up, a factor that is turning out to be an advantage for those looking to rent space.

Shopping malls. They are everywhere you look, mushrooming in all major towns in the country. Kisumu County has not been left behind, but the unrelenting construction of these properties is gradually turning into a poisoned chalice for investors, who have sank millions in capital into the venture, to capitalise on the alleged expansion of the middle class.

CONTAINERS

So intense is the mall bubble that supply is threatening to reach saturation, which is made worse by fabricated containers that are edging out established malls as traders seek cheaper spaces for stalls, shops, offices and storage depots.

Less than a decade ago, Mega Plaza, United Mall and Swan Centre were the major commercial properties that served the lakeside city.

Not anymore. Kisumu has experienced a proliferation of malls, which have more than doubled following the entrance of new players and expansion of some as they join the list of competitors, leading to shrinking demand for commercial properties.

Following the completion of the Sh4.2 billion Lake Basin Mall, other shopping centres that have entered the scene include Mega City and West End, as well as Tuff Foam Mall, still under construction.


According to the 2018 Kenya Retail Sector Report, Kisumu is oversupplied by 200,000 square feet, yet additional mall spaces are coming up, a factor that is turning out to be an advantage for those looking to rent space. While Mega Plaza Mall completed its expansion programme over two years ago, Tuff Foam Mall is being extended by five stories. There is also Unique Mall, which is under construction right in the centre of the business district.

Unfortunately, the supply of space seems to have exceeded demand, leading to low occupancy levels, with some malls reporting as low as 40 per cent occupancy.

TOUGH TIMES

Mr Johnson Denge, a manager at Cytonn Real Estate, observes that Kisumu is facing low disposable income, which means that landlords could be in for tough times if the relentless construction of shopping complexes is anything to go by.

“Kisumu is experiencing a supply glut, and the pressure is now piling on property owners to lower the lease fees and rental prices,” says Mr Denge. “To keep afloat, a number of landlords have resorted to offering incentives to entice new tenants.”

The monthly average rent for space in most shopping malls in Kisumu is between Sh80 and Sh150 per square foot.

Lake Basin Mall, which charges one of the lowest rental prices at Sh80 per square foot, does not, however, include service charges and value-added tax, says George Asigoh, a manager with Charcon Properties, which manages the multibillion-shilling property.

The mall, owned by the Lake Basin Development Authority (LBDA), is conveniently located near the Mamboleo Junction on the Kisumu-Kakamega highway.

DN body text: Though the 62,000-square-metre shopping complex was completed in 2017, it has not been launched, because the owner is yet to get a reliable anchor tenant.



The mall, which has already attained 40 per cent occupancy, hosts a three-star hotel, showrooms, a tyre centre and a recreational park. Tuskys supermarket was initially to occupy the most strategic location in the mall but later withdrew from the deal after securing space at Mega Plaza following the closure of Nakumatt.

MAIN TENANT

LBDA chairman Cavince Owidi has, however, indicated that the main tenant will be picked from among French retail chain Carrefour, South Africa’s Shoprite and Choppies from Botswana, which have all expressed interest in taking up the space. Meanwhile, Mega Plaza, located on the busy Oginga Odinga Street, and which was redeveloped and is now the tallest building in the city, is also struggling to get tenants for the additional space. After signing an agreement with Mega City, the planned entry of South African retailer Game Stores promises to overturn the mall’s downward trend following the dwindling fortunes of the troubled Nakumatt, which closed shop.

Footfall in shopping malls over the review period rose mainly owing to the revival of anchor tenants in the retail centres replacing Nakumatt.

The mall, which stands next to the infamous Kachok dumpsite, could also reap big from the relocation initiated by Kisumu County. Western Kenya’s biggest landfill, which is being transferred at the cost of Sh200 million, is being transformed into an eco-park of indigenous trees and a children’s playground.

Worth noting is that the adjacent Vic Hotel has uplifted the status of Mega City Mall, located on the Kisumu-Nairobi highway.

While boosting the number of retail chains that have recently set up shop in Kisumu, the opening of Chandarana Food Plus Supermarket at West End Mall on Jomo Kenyatta Highway has given a new lease of life to the property, which was deserted following the closing of Uchumi supermarket.

COMPETITION

The mall, which hosts Acacia Hotel, has become popular with county government employees as well as civil servants in the government offices situated in the vicinity.

Though still under construction, the adjacent Tuffoam Mall has taken a big leap by attracting tenants such as Safaricom, Aon Minet insurance, Nation Media Group, Bata, Masinde Muliro University and Standard Chartered Bank.

Mr Eric Ounga, the proprietor of Ounga Commercial Agencies, a property development company based in Kisumu, is optimistic in the face of the present reality, saying that the future of malls looks promising.

“The focus should not be on the present but rather, the future. While a majority of people are looking at the current value of malls, the fact that a significant percentage of the space is vacant does not mean that the properties are running at a loss,” he says, pointing out that as the population and the economy continue to grow, the outlook will improve in another year or two. He adds that the entry of international retailers in the region could tilt the fortunes for investors.

He further notes that most landowners are developing their property in speculation, and their value is bound to significantly shoot up in the next three to five years without even considering the rental income.

“When United Mall was coming up, many were pessimistic and thought it was not a viable venture,” he says. “Now it has grown to become the busiest outlet as we speak. Today, it has one of the highest footfalls,” he said.

The property developer further expressed optimism that Lake Basin Mall, the biggest shopping centre in the western region, will take its space and provide a worthy competition for the players in the sector.

PRODUCTION

Kisumu County Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o, in an interview with the Nation, said that there is great hope for investors who are interested in investing in the lakeside city, coming at a time when there is a good working relationship between opposition leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.

While noting that Kisumu is dominated by the service industry, Prof Nyong’o said his administration is focused on corresponding the growth of the production industry to support the critical sector.

“The availability of services like banking and malls can best be supported with a vibrant manufacturing industry, which is the crucial engine for sustaining economic growth and development, job creation and poverty alleviation,” he said.

As one way of supporting tourism and investment in the western Kenya circuit, he pointed out that the county, in partnership with the national government, has embarked on an initiative to regenerate the lakefront in a bid to come up with an attractive view of the lake.

The redevelopment of the lakefront, to cut across the yacht club, Kisumu port and the golf club, is envisaged to have buildings near Lake Victoria reconstructed to face the waterfront.

To kick-start the process, tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala said the government had set aside Sh300 million for the mega project, which is expected to greatly benefit businesses next to Africa’s largest freshwater lake. Governor Nyong’o noted that the putting up of an industrial park at Ombeyi in Muhoroni, the revival plans for the Kisumu port and the scheduled extension of the standard gauge railway will pave the way for new investors to set up shops in the lakeside city. “With these kinds of infrastructure, the … mall owners can rest assured as residents will have steady income that will enable them to shop in the malls,” he said.

OCCUPANCY

A report by Cytonn Real Estate released last year showed that the key cities — Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret and Nakuru — have a total mall space supply of 15.3 million square feet, against a demand of 14.1 million square feet, resulting in an oversupply of 1.2 million square feet.

Nairobi, Eldoret, Kisumu and Nakuru are oversupplied by 2 million, 0.3 million, 0.2 million and 0.1 million square feet, respectively. Kiambu, Mombasa, Kajiado, Mt Kenya and Machakos are undersupplied by 0.6 million, 0.3 million, 0.2 million, 0.2 million and 0.1 million square feet, respectively.

According to the report, Kenya’s retail sector performance improved in 2018, recording average rental yields of 8.6 per cent, 0.3 per cent points higher than the 8.3 per cent recorded in 2017, and average occupancy rates of 86 per cent, 5.8 per cent points higher than the 80.2 per cent recorded in 2017.

It further established that Mombasa and Mt Kenya are the new best regions for retail real estate development because of high demand for retail space of 0.3 million and 0.2 million square feet and anticipated attractive yields of 8.3 per cent and 9.9 per cent, with occupancy rates at 96.3 per cent and 84.5 per cent, respectively.

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.
