Concerns are growing among residents and travelers in the Kpando Torkor area due to the prolonged inoperability of the ferry, a crucial transportation link for the region.
The ferry, which has been out of service for several weeks, has left passengers with no choice but to resort to overcrowded canoes, creating significant disruptions to travel and local commerce.
The alternative crossings are not only causing long delays but also posing serious safety risks, as the makeshift canoes navigate the lake under unsafe conditions.
Stephen Dzaka, a concerned traveler, shared his frustration, stating, “We used to cross safely with the ferry, but now that it’s broken down, we are forced to use the canoe. It is overcrowded, and the risk of an accident is high.”
With the situation becoming increasingly dire, locals and travelers are calling on the authorities to take immediate action and repair the ferry to ensure safer and more reliable transport options for the community.
“We urge the government to repair the ferry as soon as possible to prevent a potential disaster.”
