The reconstructed Appiatse township, a project undertaken by the government in partnership with Corporate Ghana, is set to be commissioned and handed over soon, according to the Ministry of Information.

The reconstruction efforts were initiated following a tragic incident on January 20, 2022, where a vehicle carrying mining explosives crashed at Appiatse, resulting in the deaths of about 13 individuals and leaving many residents homeless.

In July 2023, Mr. Thywill Quarshie, the Public Relations Officer of the Appiatse Reconstruction Committee, said the first phase of the reconstruction project, comprising 124 housing units for the victims, was nearing completion.

These units include 41 one-bedroom apartments, 35 two-bedroom apartments, 25 three-bedroom apartments, 15 four-bedroom apartments, 8 five-bedroom apartments, along with one six-bedroom and one seven-bedroom apartment.

Mr. Thywill Quarshie reported that most of the buildings had been roofed, with external works such as electrical, plastering, and painting scheduled to begin soon. Additionally, the drainage system has been completed, and the road network in the area is currently under construction.

The Appiatse Relief Committee received donations totaling GH₵62 million as of August 2023, aimed at facilitating the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Appiatse township.

Some residents have expressed frustration at the pace of reconstruction efforts. It has been over a biennium since the unfortunate incident happened.
