“They should not come here, if they value their lives, they should not come here. We will destroy their vehicles and other property they will bring along. They should not come here to campaign again.”
Another resident narrated how they struggle to transport people to the hospital including pregnant women due to the poor nature of their road adding, “we will best them mercilessly if they dare come here to campaign. We will beat them until they run away.”
On his part, the Chief of the area, Nana Larbi I said he feels disappointed in the Member of Parliament and the DCE.
“Our major occupation here is farming but due to the poor road network, we don’t get vehicles to transport our produce to markets for us to sell. When that happens, our produce rot and the investments we put in our farming go waste.”
“I am giving them from now to December if nothing is done on our road, I will personally organize a massive demonstration against the MP and his DCE. I will also place a ban on them from campaigning in the constituency, ” he warned.
