Poor roads hindering development

The chief of New Obuase in Ghana's Central Region, Nana Agyei Nkyiriyeh II, has called on government to rehabilitate the deplorable roads in the area. According to the chief, the poor state of the roads was hindering development in the area.

Nana Nkyiriyeh was addressing a delegation led by the Minister of Lands and Natural Resources (MLNR), Mr Kwaku Asuma Cheremeh, to the Denkyira Traditional Council.

Nana Nkyiriyeh II said the roads, if put in good shape would create jobs for the youth as they would shift from illegal mining to farming.

Kwaku Asomah-Cheremah said government would ensure that the roads are repaired to ensure easy access.
