The member of parliament for Kpone Katamanso, Joseph Akuerteh Tettey, has pleaded with the government to repair the area’s numerous poor roads.
According to him, residents of the area pay taxes and should receive the benefits of good roads.
His appeal comes in response to comments from constituents about how poor the majority of their roads are.
Mr. Tettey lamented the government’s failure to pay contractors to resume work on the numerous roads in his district in an interview with the media.
“I want to appeal to the Road Minister and the government that Kpone Katamanso is also part of Ghana. The constituents are also part of Ghanaians. I’m appealing that they should release the needed funds to the contractors so that they move to site. It’s not as if I’m not engaging the right authorities for the road to be fixed. But mostly when you approach them they have a particular excuse they give,” he stated.
Tetteh emphasized government’s commitment to fix Kpone-TOR road, ease tanker and drivers’ plight.
“We need some commitment from the government,” the MP said.
“With the Kpone Katamanso road, that is where the tanker drivers normally load to send fuel to other parts of the country. There are a lot of businesses, companies within that enclave. If I tell you the taxes these companies pay, you will be surprised, yet still, the government doesn’t see the need or the urgency to work on the roads, let’s hope so, as I said the roads in Kpone Katamanso need to be fixed,” Member of Parliament for Kpone Katamanso, Joseph Akuerteh Tettey expressed hope.
