Uwasi chief bemoans poor road networks and lack of electricity in communities

The Chief of Uwasi Traditional Area in the Builsa South District of the Upper East Region, Nab Anmwanya Abiako II, has appealed to the government and relevant authorities to urgently address the poor road network and lack of electricity in several communities under his traditional area.

According to the chief, the deplorable state of the roads continues to cause hardship for farmers, market women, children and other residents who depend on the roads for their daily activities.

He said farmers struggle to transport their agricultural produce to market centres, while women travelling to sell their goods also face significant difficulties due to the poor road conditions.

The chief further lamented that several communities, including Zuasa, Kazensa, Yagedema, Abayeri and Goluk, remain without electricity, with access to power reportedly limited to parts of the central community and market area.

He expressed disappointment over what he described as the failure of political leaders and local authorities to adequately address the challenges despite repeated concerns raised by the community.

The chief also highlighted transportation difficulties, explaining that the lack of reliable transport makes it challenging for residents to travel when they need assistance or access essential services.

He therefore called on the Member of Parliament, the District Chief Executive and other relevant authorities to prioritise road rehabilitation and the extension of electricity to the affected communities.

The chief warned that residents would expect tangible improvements in their living conditions within the current four-year political term, stressing that development commitments must translate into visible results.

He maintained that the people of Uwasi deserve better roads, electricity and essential services to improve their livelihoods and reduce the hardships faced by children, farmers and other vulnerable residents.

The chief appealed to the authorities to act promptly, insisting that the community can no longer afford to endure the same challenges without meaningful intervention.
