Kasoa-Winneba highway construction: Traditional leaders in Awutu, Budumburam demand payment of compensation

The Awutu and Budumburam Traditional Councils in the Central Region are pressing for prompt compensation for residents impacted by the Kasoa-Winneba highway dualisation, funded by ECOWAS and managed by Ghana's Ministry of Roads and Highways.

Despite demolishing structures to expand the road into a dual carriageway to ease congestion and reduce accidents, affected residents have yet to receive any compensation.

Chiefs, speaking during a visit by minority members of Parliament's Roads and Transport Committee, highlighted the residents' plight, describing the situation as dire and appealing for urgent parliamentary attention to address their grievances.
