The Chiefs and people of Tarkwa Apinto Divisional Council in the Western Region today embarked on ‘funeral’ over their bad road networks.
This morning, they blocked the main road that link Tarkwa to Takoradi to register their displeasure over the bad nature of roads in the municipality.
Wearing funeral clothes, the demonstrators describes the present state of the road networks as “not befitting the status of the town as a mining area”.
In a related development, road users in the Saboba District in the Northern Region of Ghana, also expressed disappointment over the bad nature of roads in the district.
According to them, the main Yendi-Saboba stretch has been blocked by flood, adding that the road is no more in use following the recent heavy downpour in the region.
They noted that, vehicles are now compelled to spend over nine (9) hours from Tamale to Saboba leading to the increase in unexpected charges on goods and passengers.
