The Member of Parliament for Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfrom Constituency, Felix Akwetey Okley has fulfilled his promise to motorists and commuters in his constituency with the commencement of reshaping of major roads in the district.
With the support of the office of the National DRIP Coordinator and the district assembly, the MP today initiated the start of the exercise.
The first phase is the reshaping of the main Atta Mills Memorial Highway from the Old Barrier to Bortianor, spanning about 9 kilometres.
The work is being supervised by Ing. Dr. Sowah, the roads engineer with the support of the DRIP equipment from the district and the national secretariat.
Speaking at the commencement of the work, Akwetey assured the constituents of his determination to bring relief to the unbearable difficulties they have lived on the roads in the constituency in the past.
He praised the president for restructuring DRIP and making it flexible for the districts to undertake such emergencies.
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 maintenaning the large number of bad roads in the Ga South district.
