Assemblyman calls for termination of road contract

Gambia(Brong Ahafo) 30th July 99 ?

The assemblyman for Gambia Krachikrom electoral area in the Asutifi district, Mr Ben Busia, has called on the Asutifi district assembly to terminate the work of the contractor working on the 13.4 kilometre Gambia number two-Kusawodie road.

Mr Busia who briefed newsmen at Gambia on the condition of the road, accused the contractor of doing a shoddy job as the road which is being constructed under the agriculture sector improvement programme (ASIP) has become impassable due to the poor work undertaken.

He appealed to the Asutifi district assembly to come to the aid of people living in the area because their farm produce including cocoa are locked up due to the refusal of drivers to ply the road.

In another development, Mr Rexford Berko, assembly member of Kwapong old town in the Asunafo district of Brong Ahafo has appealed to the Department of Feeder Roads and the Asunafo district assembly to rehabilitate the 18-kilometre Noberkaw-Asufufuo-Kwapong-Sankore road which has become impassable.

He said farmers in the area are finding it difficult to send their food items to marketing centres.
