Correspondence from Eastern region Contractors working on the Somanya-Kpong and Somanya-Asitey roads have attributed the slow pace of work to a lack of funding from the government.

Residents and shop owners along the roads connecting the Yilo Krobo and Lower Manya Krobo Municipalities in the Eastern Region have expressed concern over health hazards caused by dust generated from the ongoing road rehabilitation works.

Distraught commuters have blamed the contractors for the undue delays in construction, citing significant inconveniences and health risks posed by the dusty roads to road users, motorists, and residents.

Motorists and passengers are bearing the brunt of the poor road conditions, with many drivers unwilling to use the affected stretch and opting for alternative routes instead.
