The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Asunafo North in the Ahafo Region, Joseph Akparibo, has assured residents that the long-neglected Kasapin–Bediako road will be constructed before the end of President John Mahama’s term in office.
Speaking during a courtesy call on traditional leaders in the area, Mr. Akparibo acknowledged the severe hardship the deplorable road is causing residents and confirmed that the government is treating it as a priority.
He revealed that the Ahafo Regional Minister, the Member of Parliament for the area, and himself have jointly petitioned the Minister for Roads and Highways, who has given assurance that a contractor will soon be deployed to the site.
“The government is aware of the difficulties residents face on that stretch. I want to assure you that the Kasapin–Bediako road is among the roads earmarked for immediate attention and will be completed before President Mahama leaves office,” Mr. Akparibo stated.
Meanwhile, Assembly Member for the area, Razak Ahmed, told Adom News that failure to deliver on the road project could cost the Member of Parliament, Haruna Mohammed, significant political support in the 2028 general elections.
“If the MP does not push harder for the road’s construction, he risks losing the confidence of the people—and that will affect the NDC’s fortunes here,” Mr. Razak warned.
