The Assembly Member of Addoe Electoral Area, one of the Electoral Areas that has been cut off, Sulemana Issahaku has been speaking to First News said, “It has really affected us because we are unable to cart our foodstuff to Odumasi. Apart from this schools have been closed for the part weeks because the teachers are not able come. We are therefore calling on the Sunyani West Municipal Assembly to ensure that the contractor comes back on the road to complete it.”
A driver, Charles Kofi in an interview said they are unable to access Odumasi because of the nature of the road.
“Foodstuffs are getting rotten because we cannot go to the villages to bring them. Immediately after the elections the contractor abandoned the project.”
