Authorities rush to fix roads as Akufo-Addo visits

Parts of Nkawkaw town roads have been blocked for construction a day to President Akufo-Addo’s visit.

The Construction of 2km Domeabra/Agyarkwa road which started few months ago has been abandoned for sometime now.

Speaking on Agoo FM, the MCE for Kwahu West Municipality Yaw Owusu Addo denied that the sudden development on the roads has anything to do with the President’s visit.

According to him, the contractor who left the site did not have enough machines to operate but has now resumed work.

The poor state of Nkawkaw roads has become a major matter of concern in the area with youth in the area often posting pictures of the terrible roads on social media.

The state of Akuajoo/Trado road, White house road, Hotel Junction to HansB Road, Asuboni Road, among others are in poor state affecting the day to day activities of drivers, passengers and residents.

Sources say the President will only use the Domeabra/Trado road, reason for the sudden construction.

The President is expected to visit the Eastern Region from Saturday 12th October to Monday 14th October 2019.

On Thursday, residents of Kumasi told Starr News they want the President to visit the town often because contractors who went to site while he was there have packed out after he left.
