The Minority in Parliament has clarified that the Kumasi Inner Ring Road Improvement Project was started under the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration, not the current government.
In a statement issued on October 5, 2025, the Ranking Member on the Roads and Transportation Committee, Kennedy Nyarko Osei, explained that the project began with preparatory works and discussions with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) as far back as March 2024 under the NPP government.
He said that technical assessments, project plans, and talks on financing had all been completed before the change of government.
The Minority commended the current administration for continuing the project, saying it shows a commitment to sustain projects that benefit citizens.
According to the statement, the project is part of a wider plan to dualize the entire Kumasi Inner Ring Road. It includes the Southern Bypass, which will receive grant support from the Government of Japan, and the Western Bypass, which will be handled under the Sunyani Road Phase 2 project.
The Minority added that the main aim of the project is to improve road capacity, reduce traffic, and enhance safety.
They urged the current government to continue and complete all major road projects started by the NPP, including the Suame Interchange, the Sunyani Road Phase 2, and the Konongo Bypass.
They stressed that what matters most to the people of Kumasi and the Ashanti Region is progress, delivery, and better infrastructure, not political credit.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
