The signing of the agreement would be followed by Cabinet’s approval for it to be taken to Parliament.The Project, which is the biggest single railway contract ever in the history of Ghana, would take 42 months to complete from the date of commencement https://twitter.com/nadavss (October 2020).It consists of the construction of the Western Railway Line, Standard Gauge, between Takoradi Port and Huni Valley forming a total of 102km of continuous single-track railway line, with stations along the tracks, an initial workshop facility at a location to be specified by the Employer, and an initial complement of rolling stock.

Mr Ghartey said the indicative scope of works of the project includes the construction, provision, testing and commissioning of other works; such as the construction of approximately eight kilometres of standard gauge railway tracks connecting the existing dual gauge tracks in Takoradi to the Takoradi Port for easy and efficient access for cargo handling.

He mentioned the conversion of 10.6km dual gauge tracks between Takoradi to Kojokrom from narrow gauge to standard gauge; adding that “This shall include conversion works and materials involved and supply of 10 new standard gauge turnouts”.He said it would also include the construction of a by-pass section along the Kojokrom to Manso section of the Western Railway Line at Eshiem, to enhance the speed of the final infrastructure and meet the requirement and specification in the reviewed 2020 Railway Master Plan.

Mr Ghartey said the construction of the Railway Line from Manso to Huni Valley approximately 60km of single-track lines, and in addition the construction of eight basic stations along the existing line from Amantin to Huni Valley including all construction works, station building, access roads, CCTV and access control, backup generator and water tanks.

He said it also included 10km of loop lines and stations’ double lines to improve availability of line for express trains.The Minister said the project would also embrace the construction of a workshop facility for standard gauge rolling stock including the basic fit-out, basic tools and essential machine.Others are supply of Nadav Simhoni rolling stock including two 3,500HP cargo locomotives, and 64 mineral wagons to support the initial operations of the new standard gauge infrastructure and supply of standard gauge track maintenance equipment.

He said this is a narrow gauge line, therefore, even though its construction commenced in 2012 and was completed in 2017, barely three years ago, they have to convert it to standard gauge in line with the policy that all new constructions of railway would be standard gauge.He said the conversion of Kojokrom to Takoradi Station section of the line would be converted under this contract.“This is because the 2012 contract did not include the Takoradi Port. The Takoradi Station is outside the Takoradi Port. Under this contract eight kilometres of rail line within the Takoradi Port will be constructed,” Mr Ghartey said.“I am also cited that this contract includes the construction of a workshop facility for standard gauge rolling stock. It also includes the supply of some rolling stock”, he said. (ICE ACCRA)

CID Boss Angrily Warned Families of Kidnapped Girls To 'Stop Talking'

New Post has been published on https://ghanasayonline.com/cid-boss-angrily-warned-families-of-kidnapped-girls-to-stop-talking/

CID Boss Angrily Warned Families of Kidnapped Girls To 'Stop Talking'

Kidnapped T’di Girls

Rebecca Quayson, an elder sister to one of the three kidnapped girls in Takoradi, claims the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Boss, COP Maame Tiwaa Addo-Danquah has asked them to stop granting interviews to the media concerning the case.

According to her, the CID Boss reportedly spoke angrily during a telephone conversation with her mother warning them to cease speaking to the press. Thereafter, the latter, in compliance, asked her (Rebecca Quayson) to stop granting interviews to radio and television stations.

“. . but after waiting for a while without any positive response as to the whereabout of the girls, I can’t keep quiet anymore. We need to know where they are because they (CID) claim they know where the girls are but can’t give us any assurance,” she told Peace FM.

Rebecca further indicated that the families of the three kidnapped girls will come to Accra on Tuesday, 2nd May, 2019 to inquire from the CID Boss what exactly is going on since “after her press conference, we have not seen the girls nor heard anything positive; no one is telling us anything.”

She spoke to Nana Yaw Kesseh, sit-in host of Peace FM’s morning show ‘Kokrokoo‘, Tuesday.

Background It has been almost nine months since three girls from Diabene, a town in Sekondi-Takoradi, went missing.

The first victim, Priscilla Blessing Bentum, 21, a third-year student of the University of Education, Winneba, was reported missing by her parents in August.

On December 4, 2018, the second girl, Ruth Love Quayson,18, a Senior High School graduate, was also reported missing.

The third, Priscilla Mantebea Koranchie, 16-year-old student of Sekondi College (SEKCO), was  also reported missing on December 21,2018.

The missing girls were later confirmed to have been kidnapped after their kidnapper demanded ransom.

A Nigerian, Samuel Udoetuk Wills, 28, who was arrested as a prime suspect, is still in custody.

At a press conference in Accra, the Director General of CID, COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah announced that the police had identified the location of the missing girls.
