The Member of Parliament for Mpraeso Constituency in the Eastern Region, Davis Ansah Opoku, has warned that Ghana is facing a growing road safety crisis, as fatalities on major highways continue to rise.
He called for urgent interventions following the tragic accident that claimed the lives of 16 young people on the Atwidie-Juaso stretch of the Accra-Kumasi Highway.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament, Opoku said the recent crash highlights a nationwide issue.
Ghana records thousands of road crashes annually, with the Accra-Kumasi Highway ranking among the most dangerous. "Every weekend I travel on that road, and every trip feels like a prayer.
