Mrs Gifty Twum Ampofo, the Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North Constituency in the Eastern Region, has lamented that, MPs does not use their resources for road construction but rather lobbies for it.
According to her, Ghana’s resources is very limited and can’t reach everybody at the same time, therefore constituents needs a hard working Member of Parliament to lobbied for infrastructure and many other important projects.
Mrs. Twum Ampofo who doubles as the Deputy Minister of Education in charge of TVET adds, she started lobbying for deplorable roads in her constituency to get it fixed in 2020.
Adding that, in 2022, the minister responsible for roads and highways gave the greenlight for the road to be constructed.
She said, she is grateful to Prez Akufo-Addo and his Roads Minister, Mr. Kwasi Amoako Atta for what they have done for the good people of Abuakwa North.
“Most of my constituents got peeved at me because of the nature of the poor roads network in my constituency especially the drivers” she admitted.
She told the media during a visit to the site to inspect the ongoing construction of the 14km road network which start from Tafo Engen junction through to Akim Old Tafo to Akim Kukurantumi.
The field supervisor for General Construction Limited, Mr. Eric Agyemang indicated that he is optimistic that, the project will be completed by the end of the year 2022.
He thus observed that, they have so far done 10% of the work.
Mr. Agyemang then pleaded with those whose waterlines have been affected by their work to give them some periods to fixed it back for them.
