Residents and shop owners along the Somanya-Kpong and Somanya-Asitey roads in the Yilo Krobo and Lower Manya Krobo Municipalities of the Eastern Region have expressed concern that they were exposed to health hazards following the generation of dust as a result of rehabilitation works being undertaken on the road.
They have called on the government to prevail on the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA), to ensure that the contractor working on the road executed the project such that it did not affect their health.
The affected persons in separate interviews with GhanaWeb's Eastern Regional Correspondent, Michael Oberteye called on the contractor working on the road to expedite works and also water the road daily to reduce the volume of dust.
The absence of the rains has worsened the plight of the people.
