Residents told GhanaWeb, they are compelled to use the only football field in the community for reception.

This they told our correspondent has made communicating with their friends and families in the cities very difficult.

Dilapidated classroom block

It was revealed that the community has dilapidated classroom blocks that accommodate KG pupils to Junior High School students.

According to some elders in the community, these classroom blocks were established in 1979 and have never received any renovation works.

"Right from 1981 this school building hasn’t received any facelift, it has been like this ever since. Members of the community erected this structure, this is where our children school. They are always drenched in water whenever it rains.

Whenever it rains, they are forced to bring classes to an end. I am calling on the government for urgent assistance as the situation is now out of hands here at Kwesikrom," one of the elders in the community told GhanaWeb.

They are therefore pleading with the government to come to their aid as soon as possible.
