One thing I always discussed with Nana Addo is road, road, road, town roads in Half Assini here are not in good shape and I will tell you to fix them before December 7".

The reason why I am saying this is that Nzema we don't like violence and because we don't do violence they don't listen to us but we want to live in peace with you and you can see that Jomoro is one of the peaceful municipality in the country and because of this when we request for something it delays before they do but today I am telling you that before 7th December will come let me see that you have fixed all the roads completely", he stated.
