THE chiefs and people of Nkwanta and Kadjebi in the Volta Region have appealed to the Ghana Highway Authority (GHA) to rehabilitate the Nkwanta-Kadjebi road to facilitate the movement of people and the haulage of agricultural produce in the area.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nkwanta South, Mr Gershon Gbediame, who made the appeal on behalf of the people, said the stretch of the road had deteriorated making it very difficult for vehicles ply it.
He told the Daily Graphic that vehicles, especially those carting foodstuffs to the marketing centres, get stuck on the road on rainy days and foodstuffs start to rot.
“I appeal to the GHA to take immediate measures to save the situation to alleviate the plight of travellers in the area,” he pleaded.
Mr Gbediame explained that some traders dealing in foodstuffs and also farmers incur debts as a result of the bad roads. This situation, he said, had forced some drivers to stop plying the route. He therefore called for the situation to be rectified soon in the interest of all.
