A TOTAL of 3.7 kilometres of roads in Denu, the capital of the Ketu South District in the Volta Region, are to tarred to give the town a facelift.
The Minister of Transportation, Dr Richard Anane, announced this in Parliament when he appeared before the House to answer question on the road sector posed by a number of Members of Parliaments (MPs).
The MP for Ketu South, Mr Albert Kwasi Zigah, had asked the minister when the Denu Beach (Swanzy) road would be tarred.
Dr Anane said the 1.2 kilometre Denu Beach road had been prepared for tarring in 2009 by the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA).
He said in all 3.7 kilometres of roads in the Denu town had been prepared for development.
Mr Zigah, however, expressed regret that the district had not benefited from the government’s programme of tarring 15 kilometres of roads in each district as was announced in the 2008 budget.
He said the Denu Beach road, which leads to most of the government institutions in the town, was currently in its worst state and called for immediate measures to arrest the situation.
