Mr Aning said he was pleased with the announcement by the Regional Minister, Mr Isaac Edumadze that the Brakwa-Afofosu/Ogonaso road had been awarded on contract for rehabilitation.
He said the people of Brakwa have been marginalized for far too long, in terms of development projects and said it was time for them to also get their share of the national cake.
