According to the commuters, successive governments have neglected the road for years, causing severe hardship to users, while the recent heavy downpour over the past three days has rendered portions of the stretch unmotorable.

They alleged that the road project was awarded by the previous government, but the contractor abandoned the site.

Mr. Kweku Attah, a commuter, said most commercial drivers had stopped using the road because of the frequent breakdown of their vehicles.

He warned that if urgent action was not taken before the peak rainy season between June and July, communities along the stretch could be completely cut off.

Madam Efuah Tawiah, a trader from Agona Nyakrom, appealed to President Mahama to intervene and ensure the continuation of the project. She claimed that although the contract had been awarded before the 2024 elections, the contractor abandoned the site shortly after the polls for no apparent reason.

She expressed concern that political leaders often made huge promises during election campaigns regarding road construction and the provision of health and educational infrastructure, yet little had been done.

Madam Tawiah also called on the traditional leaders of Agona Nyakrom and Agona Nsaba to speak against the abandonment of the road project, stressing that residents were going through stress and hardship.

She noted that travelling to conduct her trading activities had become extremely difficult, especially during the continuous rainy season.

Mr. Kofi Nyame, a commercial driver, complained that vehicle owners were constantly replacing tyres, back axles and other spare parts because of the poor condition of the road.

He cautioned that if the situation persisted, drivers using the stretch would make their concerns known during future elections, noting that they contributed to national development through taxes and road tolls.

Mr. Nyame appealed to President Mahama, the Minister for Roads and Highways and other stakeholders to fix the road.

Another driver, Mr. Addea-Mensah, criticised District Assemblies, saying they had failed in their responsibility to drive local development.

He argued that the continued silence of citizens had emboldened political leaders to take Ghanaians for granted, adding that there appeared to be little urgency in ensuring equitable development across communities.
