The presidential candidate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, says he will undertake a comprehensive audit of the Keta Port to assess the progress made under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and determine the way forward.
The former president said this when he interacted with the media as part of his campaign tour of the Volta Region.
According to him, it would be prudent to conduct a thorough needs assessment before establishing a new port between Tema Harbour and the Port of Lomé, which are both major 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.”
