Nana Adarkwah Yiadom II, the Chief of Wassa Agyakaamanso in the Amenfi Central District of the Western Region, has appealed to the government to rehabilitate the deplorable roads in the area to enhance socio-economic activities.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), the chief said the poor state of the roads remained the most pressing challenge, directly impacting social and economic activities in communities such as Agyakaamanso, Sefwi Bekwai, Juabo, Nkwanta Number 1 and 2, Sraha, Ankwaaso, and Agona Amenfi. "All commercial activities, including farming, are hampered by the negative impact of our poor road network," he stated.
Nana Adarkwah II added that the onset of the rains had worsened the plight of road users in these communities.
He said drivers frequently complained about the high costs of vehicle maintenance due to the damages caused by the bad roads.
