Akufo-Addo ‘boys’ move to save disgraced MP following hostility by residents
At last, the anger of Suame residents over the poor nature of their roads has yielded results as a commercial agreement has been laid before Parliament for the construction of the Suame Interchange and ancillary works.
The agreement has subsequently been referred to the Finance Committee of Parliament for consideration after which it will report back to the House.
This comes barely 24 hours after angry residents almost attacked the Majority Leader and MP for the area, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu over the poor nature of the roads.
The state of the roads prompted a hostile reception for Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu on Monday.
It took police intervention to calm the tension as they shielded the MP from angry residents after he attempted to address them.
Some angry residents threw various items in his direction and hooted at him.
The residents last week organised a demonstration and called on authorities to ensure work resumes on the stretch.
Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, however, said he understood the anger of his constituents.
“If they are really angry that it has been a while since the scraping of the surface and the dust is killing them, certainly when they see any government official, they will vent their spleen on the person. So I am not worried,” he said.
