Nana Kwame Bediako, popularly known as Cheddar, is resolute in his conviction about the transformative power of water bodies in global prosperity.
Despite facing criticism for his ambitious pledge to dredge the sea to landlocked Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, Cheddar remains steadfast in his commitment to catalyzing industrial growth through this initiative, a promise he made during his recent campaign tour.
In a recent interview, the Independent Presidential Aspirant reiterated his dedication to realizing his vision of extending the sea to the Ashanti Region, underscoring its viability under his leadership.
Cheddar emphasized the vital role of water in development, highlighting examples from around the world where thriving cities are closely intertwined with water bodies. He emphasized that water facilitates transportation, irrigation, and fosters connectivity among communities, essential elements for regional development.
Elaborating on his plan, Cheddar pointed out existing waterways like the River Pra and River Tano, envisioning them as conduits for economic growth if effectively utilized. He drew parallels to international examples, demonstrating the feasibility of such ambitious projects.
When questioned about the feasibility of dredging the sea to reach Kumasi, Cheddar reaffirmed his stance, asserting that bold initiatives are necessary for national progress.
