Correspondence from the Eastern Region Tensions are mounting in the Akuse-Amedeka area of the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality in the Eastern Region, as residents express growing frustration over the Volta River Authority's (VRA) continued failure to rehabilitate a critical road connecting the community.
This comes on the back of growing frustration among residents, who say the state utility has consistently ignored its host community.
The issue has reignited public debate about the VRA's accountability to Akuse, especially after recent meetings between VRA executives and the community yielded no concrete commitments to road construction or local development.
The Akuse-Amedeka road, which residents say has become nearly impassable, lies in a community that hosts one of Ghana's major national assets - the Kpong Hydro Power Station.
