That road has been in a state of disrepair for over 20 years, as Member of Parliament I have filed questions in Parliament to call the Minister to come and give timelines. He gave timelines but he hasn\u2019t met the timelines\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stated that, in October 2017, he was able to get the Minister and his entire Ministry to proceed with work on the road but work\u00a0on the road has been put on hold for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn October 2017, I was able to get the Minister and the entire Ministry; the Minister his two Deputies, the Director of urban roads, the Director of highways to come to the site and look at the road. The contractor has been on the roads for years, so let\u2019s ask ourselves why the contractor is not working.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is simple, it is funding, and he is being starved of funds. People from within the constituency are playing politics with the road that is what it is. If they fix that road, it will be said that where Sam George stands, they have fixed the road, so Sam George would most likely win the election, \u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Scores of Residents in Dawhenya in the Greater Accra Region today [Friday] took to the streets to protest the poor nature of the road from Dawhenya to Afienya.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-510408\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanamma.com\/2019\/05\/Dawhenya-road-protests-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"480\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>They burnt tyres and blocked the road with a container as part of their protest.<\/p>\n<p>They lamented over the neglect and broken promises successive governments and legislators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe road has been in a bad condition for about 27 years now.
