Many government institutions have been neglected to rot in this country, and the railway industry hasn’t been spared.
In the early and late nineties, the railway industry was one of the country major mode of transportation of good from the forest belts to the coast. Today, the railway service in Ghana is not something good to write home about.
The Railway services was active and functioning in the nineties in the areas like; Accra, Nsawam, Koforidua, Praso, Konongo, Kumasi, Bekwai, Obuasi, Dunkwaw, Huni Valley, Prestea, Sekondi Takoradi, Tarkwa, Fosu, Oda, Kade and other areas where minerals were mined.
Today, Ghana’s railway lines are in shambles and GN media would first tackle the Asante Bekwai railway station where portions of the rails are being hacked away by scrap dealers.
ATV interaction with some residents from the area shows how many people regret living in a country called Ghana.

I commented on the plight of the railway services in Ghana and said we as a people are not serious and will remain where we are since we don't want development. We see Accra and Kumasi as Ghana but if we have railway services all over Ghana then we can say we are developing. Long live Ghana
For Ghanaians to KNOW what has brought the Railway to this stage let us ask some people and for that matter Government in this country.1981 to 1992 under PNDC and 1996 to 2000 under NDC. The railway was working together with 18 GIHOC Companies/Factories. This means some people has come to MISMANAGE AND RULE THE COUNTRY FROM 1981 TO 2000 and FROM 2009 to DATE.
THIS IS THE SELECTIVE AND MISPLACED PRIORITIES OF A ***barred word***,***barred word*** AND GRABBING PRESIDENT WHO WANTS TO BE RETAINED. POWER HAS INDEED GONE TO DOGS!!!!
I am really sad to see bekwai railway staton in this state. I was born in bekwai and lived there up to my 8th year. this building the reporter is showing reminds me of my childhood days.it's really a pity. Why are we not at all serious as a country?
If u have no sensible comment just be quiet and stop talking cheap here. How many trains self do we even have to talk of it working. Cheap talks always from cheap people like u
What does this ***barred word*** of a ***barred word*** is saying. let us be serious
Blame Matsemehofo aka NPP for Ghana underdevelopment. When Kwame Nkrumah was building Akosombom dam what did the say? When Busia by the help of CIA got power what did he do?
