Ashanti Region MPs call for an urgent meeting with Akufo-Addo following attack of ‘big boy’
Members of Parliament representing constituencies from the Ashanti Regional are calling for an urgent meeting with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over what they bemoan as the lack of development in the region.
The Ashanti Caucus complained that the region is lagging behind in the areas of infrastructure and other amenities despite years of constant loyalty to the New Patriotic Party.
Kwame Anyimadu Antwi, Chairman of the Ashanti Caucus, stated that the Ashanti Region needs urgent attention.
“The roads within Kwabre East are very bad and there are constituencies like Manso Adobea, Nkwanta, Bantama, Kwadaso… Asante Akyem North and South. So virtually, all the constituencies have some concerns.”
Mr Anyimadu Antwi explained that the Ashanti MPs believe that if road projects in the region are completed, constituents’ trust in the government will increase.
He added that the leadership of the Ashanti Caucus will also raise other issues of concern such as electricity extension in the region in due time.
This comes on the back of an attack on the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu earlier this week by residents of Suame over the poor nature of roads in the area.
