There’s a big difference between selfless people like Mr. Sarpong, Mr. Wadie (Nkwatia) and Bryan Acheampong who wants everything for himself.

I know this place very well. I am very adventurous and a well travelled person. Going to that area is no joke. It is extremely dangerous when one gets there and it rains. Only God knows how one can come down that Lateritic hill. Thank the Gentleman so much for trying to help the people who travel that road.
I am putting this up because I want to help the people who travel that road through AKWASIHO and parts of the Afram Plains.
There is a reasonably easier way to get there. That road is through Begoro. At Begoro, one can continue to drive uphill to AKWASIHO and one can turn left to Kwahu and descend to Nkawkaw. One can also turn right at AKWASIHO and that road can take you to Afram Plains. The only advice is just drive slowly and carefully because the road can be slippery and dangerous.

Do you think the MPs there think about the people? Politicians only think about themselves and their families. And can you believe that AKWASIHO has a very big Food Market where you can get Fingers of Plantain about five times bigger and longer than your hahahaha. Yes, that is true Yams there can be bigger than two times your stomach. The MP will only be frequently going there when it is time for elections.

But if really the people are paying taxes, and the Government is in charge of the Forests, land and Mineral resources, why should the citizenry be responsible for undertaking such projects? That is what the Taxes, Minerals and other Natural Resources are for. Instead, the Politicians and people who should be responsible just fill their pockets and even stomachs with Funds meant for development of the places.

Citizens cannot be responsible for KATH. They can help but not responsible. Do you think that Citizens are responsible for the maintenance and everything at Korle Bu and other Regional Hospital? They cannot handle it. If Citizens pay taxes and the Government is in charge of Forests and other Natural Resources, then the onus rests on the Government to be responsible on taking care of all businesses. The Citizens may help but that should be voluntary. To the Government, it should be obligatory.

Is he really going to benefit from any money from the revenue over there? Will the Politicians and the Traditional Authorities allow that? I used to visit the place around the Seventies. That area is a very much neglected place There is nothing good to write about the Educational Institutions there. Students there still go to school under trees and sheds. The Teaching Learning Materials there seems to belong to the Stone Age. There is not a single good Community Clinic. Transportation over there cannot be counted on except on Market Days. People walk many Kilometers to get to their destinations except on Market Days. The people desperately need help in many spheres.

This is why Ghana should be divided along Tribal lines. Can you imagine if a kwahuman is incharge of all the Gold found on kwahuland ? They have the business skills. They could employ millions of kids from all over.

Allow Obuasi people to manage their gold , Allow cocoa farmers to sell their cocoa to whoever they want. Allow the people in western region to manage their oil , Allow Accra people to sell their lands to the highest bidders. Obuasi alone could employ millions if the natives are allowed to control their gold instead of some politician from Accra.

General Mosquito is the most formed person to lead NDC than anyone for 2028. His legacies are undisputable. NDC fraternity must reward him with unopposed contest with overwhelming endorsement. NPP naysayers are creating confusing with whatsoever they think. When NDC was going through reformation after Konadu mills cantata, no one except General was the monumental figure who stood firm and balance between all spheres. He put his life on line to provide NDC this juicy political power. He is a learned Banker, Economics, Socialist Democrat. Yes he looks lenien but very firm and fair in all his dealing.

Regardless of his motives, Sarpong should be commended for spending heavily to construct that road which undoubtedly is making lives for many in the area much easier. Hopefully, what he has done for the community will encourage others across Ghana with sufficient resources to engage in similar philanthropic endeavours. I know this is an old article, but it's a story worth repeating many times over since it can serve as an inspiration to others. Great job.

No need for the road. Hiking to go to the cave is a thrill by itself. Rather build some rest stops. The road will destroy the ecosystem.
