The Member of Parliament for Walewale constituency in the Northern region, Hon. Sagre Bambangi,has called on government to consider walewale and the surrounding towns for road construction projects, as almost all the roads linking major towns and villages were in a bad shape.
He noted that the area do not have the best in terms of roads, noting that the only tarred road where one could enjoy an ease in transportation is the highway from Tamale-Bolga, but for the west roads like Walewale-Nalerigu,Walewale-Wungu-Jangaba linking the overseas communities were all in a terrible state.
He stressed that inasmuch as he is yearning to improve road network in the area, it must also be noted that road construction are not in the remit of MPs because of the capital intensive nature of such projects.
He said statutory funds allocated to them as MPs could not undertake road projects.
According to him, what he should be doing most was to spearhead and embark on maintenance works and play oversight responsibilities on road projects to ensure quality of work discharged on such projects in his jurisdiction.
He commended government for choosing to construct selected feeder roads like the Jaagsi-Jaagsi Junction road, and the Sakori road but pleaded with government to consider more areas within the constituency so it could boost transportation in the area.
