Concerned residents of Kpone in the Greater Accra Region are demonstrating over the deplorable state of their roads which have been abandoned for years.
The residents, consisting of residents of community 25, Prampram, Dawhenya, Devtraco and associated communities have expressed dissatisfaction about the state of their deplorable roads which have been impacting lives and businesses
The 17-kilometre Kpone-Dawhenya road construction, whose groundbreaking ceremony took place four years ago, has been abandoned with no sign of contractors returning to the site.
According to the group, the appalling condition of the Kpone to Dawhenya road is adversely affecting their businesses, health, and psychological well-being
The lead organizer of the demonstration, Frana Abay-Wuni, urged the Minister for Roads and Highways to provide a clear explanation for the halt in construction work and demanded immediate action to address the situation.
The demonstration came about because four years ago, the president cut a sod here to commence the road construction. We were told that it was 17 kilometres. Thus, from the Kpone roundabout all the way to the stretch of Central University and beyond.
But four years after we realized that the job had come to a halt. The contractors are not any more on-site. They come from time to time and do like patching and that’s it. We are not getting any information from them and we are really suffering. Our lives are in danger because we spend so much time sitting in traffic to and through.
