"In 2020 elections President Akufo-Addo came here to cut sod to construct this road and till now nothing has been done about it and my constituents here are suffering because the dust is giving them heath issues", he worried.
He added that, "When I was the Energy Minister, we brought Oil Enclave Road Programme to construct all bad roads in Ellembelle District and constructed some but since 2017 the NPP took over the administration of this country, they have failed to construct a single kilometer of road in Ellembelle District".
He assured the Chief and the good people of Asasetre that he would summon the Minister for Roads to Parliament to tell the good people of Ellembelle why the roads had been remained deplorable.
