“Have Patience”- Ashaiman MCE Freeman Tsekpo Pleads With Furious Residents Over Bad Roads

The Ashaiman Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) Hon. Freeman Tsekpo has appealed to residents to exercise patience, stating that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will ensure the good people of Ashaiman enjoy good road networks.

According to him, together with the Member of Parliament for the Constituency, Hon. Ernest Norgbey, they are not leaving any stone unturned to fix the deplorable state of roads in Ashaiman but insisted that sustainable development is a process that cannot happen overnight.

Residents and local groups have stepped up demands for accountability, pointing to years of poor road networks, delayed drainage systems, and slow contractor mobilization across areas like the Afariwa-Newtown road, Fitter Line, and Lebene Junction to Lebanon.

Addressing the burning issues after years of deceit and unfulfilled promises by both the MP and MCE, Hon. Tsekpo, in a direct appeal on social media, took to Facebook to urge residents to remain calm and exercise patience as they are working with the central government to fix the community’s deteriorating roads.

He stated emphatically that leadership has now taught him to keep secret rather than sharing every experience is means of survival via the proverb “A Hunter Does Not Tell All the Story of the Forest.”

“When I was a child, I used to hear this proverb a lot: ‘A hunter does not tell all the story of the forest.’ “I never understood until I grew into leadership. “We are doing everything to fix Ashaiman roads, and it is just a matter of time,” he posted.

Hon Tsekpo stressed that he remains certain that their hard work, sacrifices, and dedication will soon be rewarded with success.

“GOD WILL CROWN OUR EFFORTS SOON. Just a little patience and Ashaiman will celebrate good roads by the NDC government,” he added via Facebook.

While some party faithful have expressed disappointment since resuming office as the MCE, others believe he remains the right man for the job, urging him to continue to work to make Ashaiman a better community.

Also, a lot of netizens have raised concerns about his level of competency and trust after showing signs of urgency to transform Ashaiman after he was appointed by President John Mahama to represent the Ashaiman Constituency at the municipal level.

It appears some have now lost trust in his leadership, arguing that the level of commitment he exhibited in his early days is not what he is replicating now, adding that he is equally incompetent like the MP.
