The Member of Parliament for Nsuta-Kwaman-Beposo, Adelaide Yaa Agyeiwaa Ntim, has acted swiftly to avert a planned demonstration by residents of Gyetiase and Tadieso in the constituency over the deplorable state of roads.
The residents had threatened to stage a massive protest against the NPP government due to the poor condition of the road stretching from Nsuta to Gyetiase through Tadieso.Hon. Ntim, who is also the Deputy Health Minister, intervened by taking a proactive step and followed up with the Ministry of Roads and Highways to address the issue.
Last Tuesday, she questioned the Minister of Roads and Highways, Asenso Boakye, on why the road project had been abandoned by contractors when the Roads Minister appeared before the Assurance committee on which she (MP) serves as a member on Tuesday.
She emphasised the importance of completing the road, highlighting its potential economic impact on the constituency. Responding to the inquiry, Asenso Boakye assured that he would promptly investigate the matter and address any challenges faced by contractors working on the road.
As a result of the timely intervention by Adelaide Ntim, the planned demonstration was halted as efforts are being made to ensure swift rehabilitation of the deplorable road to the relief of the residents of Gyetiase and Tadieso.
Adelaide Ntim has promised to mount pressure on the road Minister to ensure that the road sees the needed rehabilitation.
She has, therefore, pleaded with the residents to exercise restraint as she seeks ministerial approval to address the challenges facing the constituents.
