Baba Tommy Kanton, the landlord of Tumu in Sissala East Municipality, has demanded that owners of structures along roads in the area relocate within two weeks to clear the way for road construction. The move aims to facilitate cross-border transportation between Ghana and Burkina Faso. During a meeting with affected residents, Kanton praised President John Mahama and Sissala East's MP, Isaah Mohammed Bataglia, for prioritizing the Tumu-Burkina Faso road in the government's infrastructure plans.
He also praised Mawums Construction Limited for their hard work and urged the government to award the remaining town road projects to the firm. Kanton stressed his intervention was for the area's development, not for political gain, and warned against political interference from officials. While acknowledging potential appeals for more time, Kanton insisted his stance would not change.
The MP for Sissala East, Isaah Mohammed Bataglia, assured residents the road project would proceed as directed by the landlord and pledged to minimize the relocation's impact on them. One affected resident, Alhaji YY, requested an additional three days to vacate their property but acknowledged the need for development and supported Kanton's vision for improving the area.
