Residents of Mallam, living near the ‘borla’ road in Weija-Gbawe, protested on Thursday. They want the 1km road to be paved with asphalt.
Around a hundred residents, protected by police, marched with signs asking for the road to be fixed. They had slogans like “No road, no vote.”
Although the news team saw stones and sand by the road, Mallam residents said it was just a trick to get votes, not a real effort to fix the road.
Abel Tetteh, the leader, told Citi News they were upset that local leaders, including the Member of Parliament (MP) and assembly members, didn’t take their problem seriously.
“It has happened, because these people do not respect us, first of all, they invited us, they didn’t come to us again. We want an asphalt [road] with a white line.
“The government said he’s doing asphalt everywhere. So where is ours? So we’re appealing to the government that he should come to our aid and come and do our road for us.
“We don’t want the MP to come again because the MP has failed us, and the assembly members too have failed us…we the residents concerned, residents of Mallam, Bola Road, are tired of the road and the dust for 30 years now we are not okay with the dust.”
