The council is calling on the government to complete the roads to support local businesses
The Atwima Traditional Council in the Ashanti Region has expressed deep concern over the deplorable condition of roads in their communities ahead of the 2024 polls.
The Council, which encompasses communities in the Kwadaso Municipality and Atwima Kwanwoma District, feels deceived by contractors who have failed to complete road projects assigned to them for over seven years.
The chiefs cited the slow pace of construction works on the 20-kilometer road stretching from Ohwimase, Denkyemuoso, Atwima Takyiman, and Boko to Atwima Nweneso.
In an interview with OTEC News reporter Jacob Agyenim Boateng, Kyeame Tieku Owusu Ansah, Head of Linguists for Atwima Traditional Council, expressed his dissatisfaction with how the government is handling road construction in the area.
He noted that all inner roads and other roads linking Tanoso, Takyiman, and Denkyemuoso are in a sorry state, making it difficult for commuters to use the roads.
He revealed that businesses are struggling due to the poor roads, calling on the government to complete the roads to reduce the stress residents face.
The council's concerns highlight the need for urgent attention to the road infrastructure in the area to improve the lives of residents and support local businesses.
