The Member of Parliament for Ejisu, Lawyer Kwabena Boateng has made passionate appeal to the government through the Ministry of Roads and Highways to as a matter of urgency do the needful facilitation to the road contractors to go back to sites.
The Member of Parliament on the floor of Parliament on Monday, July 21,2025 indicated that the Ejisu-Onwe -Essienimpong-Kwaso Road, Kokobra-Ekyem- Amoa- Achiase Road and Besease Jamasi road have become traps ,endangering pregnant women, traders, farmers, school children.
He noted that communities like Ekyem, Akokoamon and Asamang and others have not seen tarred roads since Independence, adding that most of the farm produce are left in the bush to perish due to the deplorable nature of the roads.
His appeal comes following the mammoth demonstration organised by the Concerned Drivers Union of Ejisu on the 7th of July, 2025.
They complained about potholes that are causing miscarriages amongst pregnant women on the Ejisu-Onwe road.
Many residents along the road and drivers on Monday, July 7, 2025, staged a four-hour demonstration to protest the bad road networks, particularly, Onwe to Kwaso.
It would be recalled that the Akufo Addo- Bawumia administration started the Ejisu-Onwe and the Achiase roads but could not complete before they left office and the afable Legislator is appealing to the Mahama government to complete the road projects that were started by the previous government.
According to the MP, most of the school children in the aforementioned communities find it difficult to attend classes during the rainy season while vehicles get stuck.
