You have done nothing for us – Chiefs tell Akufo-Addo
President Akufo-Addo’s tour of the Central Region has been characterized with warm receptions but the acting President of the Effutuakwa Traditional Area, Nana Afran Siah took a different twist of it and welcomed the President with complaints that the Chiefs and people in the area yet to benefit from the national cake in terms of development since he assumed office.
The Chief lamented that, though there are some developmental projects initiated by the government, the people of Effutuakwa are yet to benefit from those policies due to how poor the Assin Central and the Effutuakwa Traditional Area is.
The state of roads has also been a source of worry to her as a leader of her community and that she has never seen good roads in Assin Central since she was born.
He also revealed that all their roads are bad especially their town roads, and appealed to the President to help construct their deplorable roads for them.
“We have a problem with the potholes on our roads. I have come off age yet I have never seen an asphalt road in this Municipality. We know most of the other political people in parliament and when they come here, they call you bad names due to our roads. So, we the chiefs of Effutuakwa are begging you to give us at least 50kilometres of tarred roads. So, we can say it was during your tenure of office that Assin Fosu had an asphalt road”.
President Akufo-Addo after listening to the community’s plight promised to ensure that all their needs are fulfilled.
He also promised to improve the Assin Fosu Immigration Training Centre in the Municipality.
The president concluded by assuring that the area will get its share of the One District One Ware House initiative.
