Suhum communities want roads rehabilitated

The people of Adumasa, a cluster of villages in the Suhum Municipality of the Eastern Region, have called on the government to turn its attention to the deplorable condition of their feeder road.

Adumasa is comprised of Besenkwata, Akurakese, Odikro Community and other villages with a total population of about 680 people and mostly water locked.

Speaking at a meeting of opinion leaders at Adumasa, Nana Ayisi Addo,the Odikro of the area, said the people expected the government to award the two-kilometre road from Ayittey to Adumasa on contract to make the movement of people to and from the area easy.

He said the poor farmers find it difficult to cart their cocoa beans, palm fruits, plantain, oranges and other food crops to commercial centres, since transport owners have refused to ply the only road for fear of damaging their vehicles.

The Odikro hinted that the government’s policy to extend education to all parts of the country would fail because the Municipal Assembly and the Education Directorate remained adamant to their plight of having a school in the community.
