The group calling itself Concerned Citizens of Sekondi-Takoradi has slated Friday November 16, 2018 to hold a peaceful demonstration to express their displeasure to government.
Leader of the group, Nana Kwesi Koomson on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem Wednesday, said several deaths have been recorded as a result of the bad roads.
He explained that their peaceful demonstration has been necessitated by government inaction after several complaints by residents yielded no results, except in the case of some occasional filling of potholes with gravels which are eventually washed away by flood waters.
