Fully mobilise back to Dome-Kitase road this week – Roads Minister directs First Sky Construction
Roads and Highways Minister, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has directed First Sky Construction to immediately remobilise and return to the abandoned Kwabenya-Berekuso-Kitase road by the close of the week.
Roads and Highways Minister, Governs Kwame Agbodza, has instructed First Sky Construction to immediately resume work on the Kwabenya-Berekuso-Kitase road by the end of the week. The government expects continuous progress on the project upon the contractors' return, not a sporadic approach. "This week, the contractors working on Dome-Kitase must fully mobilise back to site under the direction of President Mahama," Mr Agbodza stated.
This directive follows a protest by Berekuso-Kwabenya residents on August 17, who complained about the poor road conditions affecting their health, businesses, vehicles, and access to essential services. Mr Agbodza clarified that the road project was not initiated due to the protest. "We did not come here to start the work because you did demonstration," he affirmed.
The road's significance lies in its connection to various parts of the Eastern Region, not just Akwapim. Although residents have the right to protest, Mr Agbodza emphasized that demonstrations cannot fund road construction.
