Aborkugya (O/R), July 26, GNA – A four-member delegation from the Ghana Road Fund Management Board and the Department of Feeder Road have inspected ongoing construction works on some roads in the Krachi East Municipality of the Oti Region.
The roads are a four-kilometre Aborkugya to Papaye and ongoing prima sealing and upgrading of 12-kilometre Adakpornu junction to Cement Road.
Mr John Afful Junior, who led the delegation, speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said the Department was going to inspect all major and community roads that were awarded and would take swift action on their completion.
He said the team would tour Municipal and District Assemblies in the Region to know the challenges of the road networks and address them.
Mr Micheal Yaw Gyato, a former Member of Parliament under whose tenure the contracts were awarded, reiterated that President Akufo-Addo was determined to deliver on the “Year of Roads” agenda.
He said the facelift of roads had reduced accidents among the fisher folks.
Mr Mohammed Alhassan, an Engineer of the Feeder Roads, noted that about 80 per cent of work had been done and would be completed end of August this year.
Some residents, who interacted with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), commended the government for upgrading their roads.
