Debate is sparked by Nana Kwame Bediako’s promise to extend the sea to Kumasi.

Bediako’s proposal goes beyond the simple logistics of transportation. His proposal calls for a thorough reconstruction of Ghana’s infrastructure, with a focus on the Eastern and Western Corridors. This covers the construction of gas connections, power plants, energy facilities, industrial complexes, and the incorporation of state-of-the-art technologies.

Additionally, Bediako challenges Ghana to utilize its plentiful resources for the development of electronic devices utilizing locally available components like plastic and lithium. He also pushes for a move towards value addition and local manufacturing.

Still, there is a lot of doubt about Bediako’s proposal’s viability. Many raise concerns about the financial, environmental, and technological difficulties of extending the sea into the Ashanti Region. Opponents claim that this kind of project would require enormous planning, enormous cost, and possibly negative ecological effects.

Known as a “listening tour,” Bediako is currently touring the country in order to interact with common Ghanaians and incorporate their suggestions into his platform for the next national election.
