New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Essikadu-Ketan Constituency in the Western Region Charles Bissue's promise to see to the rehabilitation of the 'dreadful' Eshiem Road is on course to becoming a reality soon. This follows the rollout of the government's District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) and commitments from companies along the road. In the last three years, there have been over six separate demonstrations on the Eshiem Road, which have all been provoked by perhaps the "nonchalance of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly" towards the lamentations of Eshiem residents over the deplorable state of their road. Several promises to get the road done have largely remained lip service, made only to get the demonstrating residents to leave the road, allowing the free flow of traffic for trucks carting industrial items for companies in the enclave. In June of this year, Charles Bissue gave a firm assurance of his commitment to lead and work with the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA) and the companies located along the road to rehabilitate it. "Since then, I have been quietly engaging them, and I must say the commitment from the companies to help ensure that the road is rehabilitated has been amazing. "They appreciate the fact that the government cannot do it alone, and as good corporate citizens, they understand it will be of immense benefit to their operations in terms of faster mobility if the road is fixed," Charles Bissue told reporters after he paid a familiarization visit to Jintao Sanitary Ware Ghana Ltd, one of the companies along the Eshiem Road.
