Founder of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako famously known as Cheddar has said he is excited about reactions to a comment he made about dredging a sea at Kumasi.
The ambitious politician with aspiration to become a President during his regional tour, revealed his intention to dredge a sea in Kumasi, stressing that this was necessary to facilitate trade in the country.
However, Cheddar’s comment did not augur well with some Ghanaians who called a bluff of his ambition.

Some Ghanaians also did not seem to resonate with the vision of the leader of the New Force Movement.
Meanwhile, Nana Kwame Bediako has insisted his vision to dredge the sea is possible stating that this could be done through connecting some river bodies in the country.
“I am not surprise, I am happy because I was looking at the African Games to be a big thing but to have one statement kind of competing with the national games, it’s a great trend.
“My vision is to bring industrialisation in this country. One of the main things needed is logistics.
“When I was looking at the map when I was in Techiman, I discovered that they have a river in Tano and it goes all the way to the border. Tano comes all the way to the sea. It has been sitting there for 100 years and no one has connected it.
“River Pra and Oti are very close and they connect. They are all there and connected but no one has dredged them. It will take the river bodies, that is what dredging is about,” he said on TV3’s New Day, Monday, March 25.

He continued, “I am talking about coastal transportation and the future if Ghana is built on industrialization which I am about to start.”
“We are running from industrialization as a country and this is the only thing that will save our economy,” Cheddar added.
He stressed that “I know what to do to do it [dredging the sea in Kumasi] by bringing the right professionals that understands dredging, mapping and defensing.”
