Some supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Klo Agogo, in the Eastern Region, are calling on the Eastern Regional Minister, the Yilo Krobo Municipal Assembly and government authorities to urgently address the municipality’s deteriorating market and road infrastructure.
They warn that years of neglect have left residents frustrated and struggling with poor road conditions.
The residents and NDC supporters say that despite repeated appeals and promises by successive Eastern Regional Ministers to improve the Klo Agogo market and roads, several communities in the municipality continue to grapple with deplorable road networks. This is affecting residents’ daily activities and movement.
Speaking in an interview with 3news, a resident of Klo Agogo who has lived there for more than 30 years, Mr Evans Tettey Piewahe, expressed disappointment over what he described as no visible development in the municipality.
Mr Tettey Piewahe questioned the Eastern Regional Minister, Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, on why residents should continue to endure poor road and market conditions for more than 30 years, despite the area’s growing population and its contribution to the country’s political process, especially voting for the NDC.
Mr Francis Okle accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of taking the people of Yilo Krobo for granted. He argued that residents deserve better infrastructure and improved living conditions in return for their continued support for the party.
He further expressed concern that repeated government assurances on road improvements are yet to translate into visible construction. He urged the Yilo Krobo Municipal Assembly and the Eastern Regional Minister to move beyond promises and address the situation.
Another NDC Communications Officer, Mr Felix Tetteh, also expressed concern over the situation. He warned that continued neglect of the community’s road challenges is heightening frustration among residents and the youth.
He said the residents of Klo Agogo are advising themselves and would not be taken for granted anymore.
