Ghana’s Ministry of Railway Development has called for public support in the fight to curb the persistent stealing of railway lines.
Mr. Kwaku Asante-Boateng, the Deputy Minister, said the country had lost substantial quantities of railway lines over the years through such thefts, lamenting that the development could devastate the sector if not halted.
According to him, the stealing of those lines had become a well-orchestrated and lucrative venture for some people, citing scrap dealers and other stakeholders in the steel industry.
