Over 48 communities including Mensonso, Sikaman, Agogooso, Yaw Owusukrom, Brofoyedu of Adansi Akrofuom, and Adansi Asokwa district of the Ashanti region have residents in black and red attire appealing to Hon K.T Hammond, MP for Adansi Asokwa constituency and Minister for Trade and Industry, and MP for Adansi Akrofuom constituency Hon Alex Blankson.
The DCEs of Adansi Asokwa district and Adansi Akrofuom, as well as the President of the Republic Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo and the NPP government, are being urged to address their poor road network.
According to the Regent, who also serves as Kontihene of Sikaman traditional council, Nana Anhwere Baffour II, the road between Kojo Nkwanta to Amankyem Akrofuom is a death trap. If the government does not fix it soon, all 48 communities will demonstrate against them.
He added that the NPP government awarded the road networks in Nkwanta, Sikaman, Mensonso to Amankyem Akrofuom to a contractor, but the contractor has been absent from the site for years.
Nana Aboagyewaa III, Mensonso Baapanin, also emphasized that the community is very serious about their road network. She mentioned that just a week ago, a pregnant woman died while on her way to the hospital.
She warned that if the government does not come to their aid, the community leaders and residents will take matters into their own hands.
An Assemblyman for Sikaman electoral area, Hon. Mathew Baah, on behalf of the six electoral areas, appeals to the President, DCE for Adansi Asokwa Hon. Andrew Aduboahene, MP for Adansi Asokwa Hon. K.T Hammond, Minister for Trade and Industry, DCE for Amankyem Akrofuom Hon. Jonas Morice Woode, and member for Amankyem Akrofuom Hon. Alex Blankson to come and fix their road.
