Some artisans at Suame Magazine in the Suame Municipality of the Ashanti Region on Monday, July 18, 2022, hooted at and pelted sachet water at their Member of Parliament over the bad state of roads in the Constituency.

The MP was there to inspect the abandoned Suame highway, which the artisans said had claimed a life due to its deteriorated nature.

The angry artisans, upon hearing of the arrival of the MP, thronged the highway and started hooting at and pelting him with sachets of water.

They also blocked some roads in videos sighted by GhanaWeb.

According to the MCE, the MP managed to make it to a meeting point where he met with leaders of the workers’ groups and explained to them what was being done to address their concerns.
