Some traders and commuters who spoke to Adom News said foodstuffs like cassava, plantain, vegetables and farm produce worth thousands of cedis usually go waste as a result of the deplorable nature of the road.
“There’s no essence of voting again, if government can’t provide simple social amenity like road” they retorted.
Also, a Cocoa Purchasing Clark at Swedru-Akwapim in Assin Fosu Municipality, Francis Martey and some cocoa farmers said they are unable to transport their farm produce to the market centres due to bad road.
