Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah Addresses Accra-Kumasi Highway Obstruction After Ministry Intervention

Minister of Roads and Highways Kwame Governs Agbodza has formally addressed Prophet Stephen Adom Kyei-Duah, leader of the Second Chance Church, regarding reports that church activities are obstructing the ongoing expansion of the Accra-Kumasi Highway. This engagement occurred during a site visit by the Minister to assess progress on the critical transport corridor, which is a focal point of the current administration’s infrastructure agenda. The Minister highlighted that certain church-related movements and congregational gatherings have interfered with construction equipment and the overall project timeline. In response to the allegations, Prophet Adom Kyei-Duah stated that he was unaware of the church's role in the obstruction until the Minister personally informed him. The Prophet's acknowledgment of the issue marks a potential turning point in resolving the logistical friction between the religious institution and the state's engineering teams. The Accra-Kumasi Highway serves as a vital economic artery for Ghana, and the government is under pressure to ensure that dualization and rehabilitation works proceed without delays caused by surrounding land use or social activities. The situation underscores the complexities of managing major infrastructure projects in densely populated or socially active areas. Moving forward, the Ministry of Roads and Highways expects a higher level of cooperation from the Second Chance Church to ensure that the safety of both the congregants and the construction workers is maintained. The successful completion of this highway segment is essential for enhancing travel efficiency and supporting national trade, requiring all stakeholders to align their activities with public interest priorities.
