Chief of Manso Agroyesum in the Amansie South District Nana Tabi III nearly met his untimely death after falling off his motorcycle in an accident on the Agroyesum – Kumasi main road due to the poor nature of the stretch which become unmotorable especially when it rains.
Recounting his ordeal on Akoma FM’s current affairs and political show GhanAkoma Thursday October 27, 2022, the Agroyesum chief explained how the poor nature of the road nearly took his life.
“I was traveling on a motorcycle Wednesday evening when we got to a point the bike nearly stuck in the mud and slid the bike. We fell off and I broke my ankle and sustained several bruises not to talk of how the motorcycle fell on me”
The chief told host of the show Aduanaba Kofi Asante Ennin that since he ascended the throne, he has never seen an asphaltic road in his area.
“We are patiently waiting for a politician who will come here to campaign for votes. We will drive them away. We have been voting for NPP since the days of President Kufuor but we have nothing to show for. Our roads are very bad,” he lamented.
Agroyesum is the only community within the Amansie South enclave that has a hospital –St Martin’s Hospital serves inhabitants within the Amansie South, West, Central and parts of Fomena and Obuasi. The poor nature of the road has been taking a toll on quality health delivery as ambulance hardly make it through when there’s the need to refer patients from Agroyesum to Kumasi and other referral centres.
Nana Tabi III further made clarion calls to authorities as a matter of urgency to fix the road to avoid fatal accidents from recurring.
