| deplorable portions of the Ho-Adidome trunk road |
Togbi Anikpi III,
divisional chief of Ho-Heve disclosed this categorically at a meeting with President
John Mahama on Sunday at the Asogli state palace in Ho, after the president inspected
the road, which started in March 2010 and was scheduled to be completed in ten
months but have since delayed with work currently at a standstill for lack of
funds.
‘Are we not part of the
country or is it because the region is considered as ‘World Bank’ that come
what may whether our needs are catered for or not you are sure of our votes and
therefore no serious attention is given to our development projects… the youth
of the town are determined and come Wednesday the demonstration is coming on if
we do not see any sign that work has resumed on the roads..’ Togbe Anikpi stated without mincing words.
The road has become the
preferred route for most drivers from the Central and Northern sectors of the
Volta Region to Accra instead of the ferry crossing at Senchi following the
closure of the Adomi Bridge at Atimpoku for major repair works.
Heavy rains have however
rendered much of the uncompleted portions of the road especially between Adaklu
and Mafi non-motorable as a result of uncompleted bridges, culverts and lack of
warning signs.
