The Immotorable nature of the roads from Asikuma-Anum-Boso-Gua have infuriated the Krotihene of the Nanyor Boso Gua Traditional Area in the Eastern Region, Nana Owusu Sakyi IV who has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo led New Patrotic Party (NPP) government of being insensitive and unconcerned to their poor road networks.
The irate chief and his people said their communities cannot continue to be denied the needed developmental projects due to the poor leadership class of their government and MPs.
The days of weak leadership for their areas through our Members of Parliament cannot continue to deprive our communities the needed development it long deserved,” the chief stated.
According to him, all the people in the area were getting fed up with the “failed and empty promises” by President Akuffo-Addo to fix the roads and thus their patience was fast waning.
Consequently, he served notice of their intention to stage protests against the government of AkufoAddo to compel it to refurbish the deteriorating roads.
“Since they have deliberately decided to deceive us all the time, the only option we have now is to stage a demonstration, and that is in the offing,” he said.
The chief subsequently disclosed in an interview with Today that sick persons were carried on motorbikes and bicycles to hospitals due to the deplorable state of their roads, adding that their roads had become death traps for motorists and passengers to use.
He appealed to the government to take immediate action on the roads, saying that the roads are now grave which was affecting the free movement of the people in the various communities, thereby making them suffering.
‘We have been calling for assistance over the years but we are yet to see action on them for free movement of goods and service,’ he said.
“Our commercial drivers are crying of the grace roads I am appealing to the government to fixed our roads within three months or else no politician should come around Anum to Boso for campaign in 2020 general elections,” the chief warned.
He indicated that the Akufo-Addo-led NPP government had neglected Asikuma,Anum and Gua Boso communities for a very long time.
“The sick are dying as a result of the bad nature of roads in our communities, so if we do not see any improvement on them then we will embark on a massive demonstration and we will make sure we sustain it till the right things are done,” Nana Owusu Sakyi IV further warned.
Nana Owusu Sakyi IV recounted that President Akuffo-Addo promised in the run-up to the 2016 polls that the NPP government would ensure that the Asikuma-Anum-Boso roads were constructed.
The chief wondered why President Akufo-Addo failed to construct the roads and also improve the living conditions of the inhabitants of the area.
