Amenfi Central MP Appeals To Gov't To Fix Roads, Improve Network Coverage

The Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe, has appealed to government to urgently reshape major roads in the constituency and improve telecommunications network coverage.

Speaking during an engagement with constituents and the media, the MP said the poor state of roads linking several communities is affecting economic activities, access to healthcare and education, and the transportation of cocoa and foodstuffs.

According to her, many of the roads have become almost impassable, especially during the rainy season, leaving farmers, traders, school children and pregnant women stranded.

"The people of Amenfi Central are hardworking farmers and traders, but our major roads are in a very bad state. I am appealing to government, through the Ministry of Roads and Highways and the Department of Feeder Roads, to come to our aid to reshape and secure our roads. When our roads are fixed, our local economy will thrive," she said.

Hon. Cudjoe also expressed concern about poor network coverage in several villages, particularly in the hinterlands, where residents struggle to make calls and access internet services.

She said the situation is affecting education, emergency response and business activities.

"There is no affable network service in many of our villages. In this modern era, communication is key. I am calling on government and the telcos, through the Ministry of Communication, to extend network infrastructure to our underserved communities," she stated.

The MP however assured constituents of her commitment to bring more development projects to the area.

She said she will continue to intervene in education, healthcare, water and sanitation, job creation and security, including classroom blocks under the Schools Under Trees Project, CHPS compounds, boreholes, electricity extension and ongoing police station projects.

"I want my people to know that I am with them. I will continue to lobby and bring more social intervention projects to impact lives. Amenfi Central deserves better and together we will make it happen," she assured.

Residents who spoke welcomed her call and expressed hope that government will act swiftly.
