C/R: Mankoadze Youth Demonstrate Over Bad Road

Some youth of Mankowadze in the Gomoa West Constituency of the Central Region on Tuesday, March 7, 2033, after the heavy downpour, poured out in their numbers to register their displeasure about the bad state of their road.

The youth wearing red armbands and others clad in red narrated how a 5.5 kilometres road in the area has been neglected.

According to them, since 2012 when the culverts on the sides of the road were constructed, nothing has been seen by way of construction.

They said the road has been left to deteriorate making commuting on it very difficult.  

A spokesperson for the angry youth, Master McCarthy, told the host of the Ghana Yensom morning show on Accra 100.5 FM, Odeyeeba Kofi Essuman on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, that nobody is going to be allowed to vote in next year’s general elections if the area's road situation was not addressed.

He warned that if the road from the Apam Junction area to the Mankoadze area was not constructed before the next elections, no political party will be allowed to canvass for votes in the area.

He narrated how citizens have continuously voted for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the presidential elections to have their development needs to be addressed yet they have nothing to show it.

He noted that in the area, the NPP wins the presidential elections for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to win the parliamentary seat. 

They threatened to remove and burn all political signposts erected in the area.
