Madina MP leads constituents to hit the streets over bad roads
Legislator for the Madina Constituency Francis Xavier-Sosu is fed up with the nature of roads in the constituency and has planned a protest for Monday, October 25, 2021, to demand that the roads be fixed.
Initially, the protest was supposed to have come off on Monday, October 18, 2021, but the Police said they could not offer security.
This demonstration is the constituency’s way of expressing its displeasure to the government over the devastation caused by recent heavy rainfalls which had flooded and trapped some constituents in their homes.
The legislator explained that the dire situation in his constituency following the rains is a result of neglect from the government.
Mr Francis-Xavier Sosu is thus questioning why his constituency has been left out of the year of roads agenda touted by the government.
Mr Sosu also revealed that most of the roads have been awarded to contractors but all efforts to get them on site have proven futile thus the need for the demonstration to put pressure on the government to get them fixed.
For him, the protest will drum home their demands and compel the government to quickly step in.
“The demonstration has been called because of the extreme bad nature of the roads in the constituency, and we have actually drawn the government’s attention to this for some time now and it seems all our attempts have fallen on deaf ears,” he noted.
