A glimpse of the rubble and excavators scattered across the construction site of the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange will cost a few Cedis from next week.
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly is set to introduce a new tax - on visitors to the construction site, designed to substantially increase the metropolitan assembly�s revenue stream.
The introduction of this charge comes only days after the President revealed in a speech that �the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange project has become a tourist attraction in Accra and many people come and stand to look at the wonderful work that is going on.�
The President�s statement is believed to have whipped up interest in this previously unknown tourist site. �Within the coming weeks, we are expecting about 195,700 tourists to flood in from all four corners of the country,� revealed a source at AMA. He explained that �the revenue from this new tourist tax will go into filling pockets in Accra.�
