Over the years, the Chereponi constituency roads and water situation have been nothing to write home about, but the Member of Parliament (MP) Seidu Alhassan Alajor said the situation would be improved.
In an interview, he admitted that it is a major problem that there is no motorable road in the constituency and it is the reason the constituents voted for John Dramani Mahama and himself, knowing they can come and fix the bad nature of roads.
“Roads were awarded to contractors, but were abandoned after the 2016 elections. Today some of the contractors are back to site especially Yendi-Chereponi roads; they are on sit now working hard to fix the bad roads, so that during the rainy season it is motorable for my constituents.
He said the conditions of the roads give him sleepless night, as such he has done some follow ups to the Roads and Highways, so many times and the sector minister has visited the place to asses’ things for himself and he has given me assurance that he would help me fix it.
Meanwhile, the water situation is also very bad, stating that just to get a gallon of water to drink, one would be surprised of the ordeal in achieving that. “Every community has that problem and this is something that we are working on to address and like you said the John Mahama government is young, just four months old”.
Speaking on his work at the committee level, he stated that as a member of the Trade, Industry and Tourism Committee, they have had a lot of interactions including visiting Runner Motors’ main warehouse and interacted with the engineers to see the work they are doing for mother Ghana.
The Leadership and committee members were impressed, “this is what Ghana needs. They are building the Ghana we want. The facilities are no different from what you find in the US and the UK; the car models they are fixing in Ghana is of high quality compared to the ones they ship to Ghana for us to purchase and the price is also affordable; I think they are doing a very great job”.
