The Member of Parliament for Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfrom, Felix Akwetey Okley, has fulfilled a key promise to motorists and commuters in his constituency by initiating the reshaping of major roads in the area.
The project, launched on Thursday, May 1, is being undertaken with the support of the Office of the National DRIP Coordinator and the District Assembly.
The first phase focuses on the Atta Mills Memorial Highway, stretching from Old Barrier to Bortianor, covering approximately nine kilometres. The work is being supervised by an engineer and supported by DRIP equipment sourced from both the district and national secretariats.
Speaking at the commencement of the project, MP Akwetey reaffirmed his commitment to easing the hardship residents face daily due to poor road conditions.
He also commended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for restructuring the District Roads Improvement Programme (DRIP) to make it more responsive to emergencies at the local level.
The reshaping of the highway is expected to significantly improve accessibility and safety for residents and commuters in the Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfrom Constituency.
He, however, pleaded that the government would respond positively to his plea for a permanent solution to the perennial mudslide that cuts off the road from the toll booth to Weija anytime it rains heavily.
He intimated that the disruption to human activity and the harrowing experience of commuters in such situations can’t be allowed to continue.
He expressed optimism that the government and the minister for roads would come to the aid of the people.
He expressed his gratitude to the National DRIP Coordinator for his support and prayed that as a resident of the constituency, he would continue to support the district assembly in maintaining the large number of bad roads in the Ga South district.
