Can not repair roads in two weeks – DCE

"It is not up to the Assembly to repair this great path. The road belongs to the Ministry of Roads and the responsible agency is the Ghanaian Authority of Roads and Urban Roads. As DCE, I can draw the attention of the department to the deplorable nature of the road, which I did. I followed with a number of letters too. "

Jonathan Paa Nii Doku, chief executive of Ningo Prampram District in Greater Accra Region, said that the ultimatum given by residents of Dawhenya Roads in Afienya to repair was untenable.

Residents protested on Friday and gave the government 14 days to repair the road from Dawhenya to Afienya or face their anger.

They burned tires and even blocked the road with a container as part of their demonstration.

Mr. Doku revealed that he had already taken steps to resolve the road problems, but the two-week delay granted by the residents will not solve the problem.

"In reality, one thing is empirical, you can not repair this road in two weeks. Practically, it is not even possible. It's not like I'm sitting down and doing nothing to fix the situation, "he said in Eyewitness News.

At the same time, local MP Samuel Nartey George supported the protests and threatened to join his constituents to demonstrate again if their concerns were unresolved.
