The chiefs of Hwidiem in the Asutifi South District and Kenyasi Numbers 1 and 2 in the Ahafo Region have issued an ultimatum to the government.
They are demanding the immediate resumption of work on the Hwidiem-Kenyasi road.
At a press conference in Kenyasi, the chiefs warned that, if the contractor, Kofi Job, does not resume work, they will mobilize their communities to protest against the government on August 6, 2024.
According to them, the dust on the road is having adverse effects on residents in their communities.
Speaking on behalf of the chiefs of the three communities, Nana Agyemang bemoaned the neglect by government.
“No action has been taken by the government after a recent press conference to highlight the urgent need for the government to take action on the prolonged Hiwdiem-Kenyasi road. Sadly, the road keeps deteriorating. The chiefs are calling on all citizens to join the planned mammoth or mega demonstration scheduled for August 6, 2024″ he stated.
Nana Agyemang vowed to lead series of demonstrations until their demands are met.
“While we remained committed to peaceful grievance resolution, we may not have any choice other than to continue to embark on a series of demonstrations, until the bad roads are fixed. We are hopeful that the government and other relevant stakeholders will listen and take concrete steps to fix the roads” he added.
