\n

It has emerged that the
\nscores of youth, who took part in a demonstration over the poor state of the
\nroad from Benchema Junction to Osei Kojokrom in the Juaboso District in the
\nWestern North Region, were bused in NDC pickup vehicles from across the
\ndistrict for the protest.<\/p>\n

The demonstrators, mainly the
\nyouth, blocked a portion of the road with some sticks and pieces of wood and
\nburnt car tyres in protest against the authorities concerned for doing nothing
\nto fix the roads. <\/p>\n

Their action caused a
\ntemporary halt to vehicular movement.<\/p>\n

The protesters claimed
\nthat there was a contractor working on the road but was asked to stop work by
\nthe current government. They, therefore, appealed to the government to
\nimmediately bring back the contractor on site.<\/p>\n

They threatened that if
\nthe road was not fixed within a month they would resort to smuggling their cocoa
\nbeans to Cote d\u2019Ivoire, indicating that the road was in a very dilapidated
\nstate despite several promises from authorities and subsequent governments to
\nfix them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a contractor
\nwho worked on the road for us but right now the whole road has been destroyed
\nagain,\u201d they claimed<\/p>\n

Besides, they claimed that
\nit was unacceptable that a chunk of the country\u2019s cocoa was produced in the
\narea but were lagging behind in terms of development. The youth felt sidelined
\nfrom the Ghanaian society.<\/p>\n

Speaking to DAILY
\nGUIDE<\/em><\/strong> after the demonstration, a resident of the area who gave his name
\nas Master Maxwell insisted that the demonstrators were bused from some areas in
\nthe district believed to be the stronghold of the NDC for the exercise.<\/p>\n

He asserted that as early
\nas 7 am yesterday, the Juaboso Constituency Secretary of the NDC, one Alexander
\nAddo Kweise, started transporting them.<\/p>\n

He mentioned that the
\nyouth believed to be NDC supporters were transported in NDC pickup vehicles\u00a0 from communities like Nkatieso, Benchema,
\nNkantakrom and \u2018290\u2019, all communities in the district for the protest.<\/p>\n

DCE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking to DAILY
\nGUIDE<\/em><\/strong>, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for
\nJuaboso, Madam Martha Kwayie Manu, indicated that she heard some youth embarked
\non a demonstration in the area yesterday.<\/p>\n

She, however, indicated that she was not aware the demonstrators were NDC youth saying it was the Unit Committee chairman for Juaboso who later informed her that those who demonstrated were NDC activists.<\/p>\n
