Hon. Dorcas Affo-Toffey, Deputy Minister for Transport, took her turn at the vetting today in Parliament.
The Deputy Minister-Designate for Transport proposed the construction of a railway line linking Jomoro in the Western Region to Tema in the Greater Accra Region, as part of efforts to enhance Ghana’s railway infrastructure and facilitate the movement of goods.
Appearing before Parliament’s Appointments Committee on Friday, July 25, Madam Affo-Toffey expressed her commitment to revitalising the railway sector and making it more attractive to investors.
“One of the things when I’m given the nod is I will work with my sector minister [Joseph Bukari Nikpe] to open it up for private investment, or investors to come on board to see how we can revamp the sector to make it viable to help us as a country,” she stated.
When asked whether she supports the idea of a Jomoro-Tema rail connection, she responded in the affirmative.
