North Kaneshie residents plant ‘pawpaw’ tree in pothole to protest poor road conditions

Some roads in North Kaneshie, a suburb of Accra have been ridden with deep potholes that could swallow a toddler, and so residents have taken awkward measures.

In protest of the bad roads in the area, the residents have started planting pawpaw trees in potholes making it look so awkward and dangerous.

Residents speaking to Happy FM’s Joseph Nii Ankrah said the move is aimed at getting the urgent attention of the government for the purpose of safeguarding lives and properties on the affected roads.

They also revealed that if the poor condition of their street is not fixed, they will not participate in the upcoming 2020 general elections.

A taxi driver who regularly uses the road said when it comes to the condition of their street, they feel neglected.
