The Ghana Railway Ladies Association has honored the Minister of Rail Development and Member of Parliament for the Essikado-Ketan constituency, Joe Ghartey for his visionary leadership in transforming the country’s rail sector.
The Association presented an honorable mention to the Minister on Friday, expressing deep appreciation for his dedication to the growth of Ghana’s rail sector.
“Joe Ghartey, it takes visionary leaders to initiate a plan, to work with determination and a positive mindset, to achieve that vision,” the quote read.
According to the Association, the Attorney General is a visionary leader seeking the improvement of Ghana Railway Company Limited.
They said it has been largely successful in moving Ghana from its ‘colonial’ narrow gauge railways to standard gauge tracks, constructing several kilometers of railways and rehabilitating those built since colonial times.
“With his sense of developing the railway infrastructure, he has been working tirelessly during these four years to put the railway sector on a very high pedestal.
“Under the regime of the minister of railway development, some notable developments such as the Trans-Ecowas lines, the Ghana-Burkina railway interconnectivity, the western and central lines, the Tema-Mpakadan line, the main location workshop and the Central Training Institute Rail will greatly contribute to the growth of the economy.
“This appointment is in appreciation and recognition of your dedication to the growth of Ghana Railway Company Limited.”
“God grant you the strength of the heart, the perfect health of the motives and the will to do your part until your purpose is fulfilled, do not hesitate. May the Lord our God bless you and affirm the work of your hands ”.
Mr Ghartey, who is seeking reelection as an MP for Essikado-Ketan, took over what the Association described as a troubled rail sector when President Nana Akufo-Addo took office.
The Minister thanked the Association of Railway Ladies and the railway workers in general for all their support during the last three years.
