Kasoa-Winneba Highway Project Sparks Fresh Outcry as Demolished Property Owners Demand Compensation

Property owners whose buildings were demolished to pave the way for the construction of the Kasoa-Winneba Highway have gathered to demand compensation, expressing frustration over what they describe as a prolonged wait for payment.

The affected individuals are calling on the Ministry of Roads and Highways to urgently address their concerns and provide clarity on when they will receive the compensation owed to them following the demolition of their properties.

According to the affected property owners, their buildings were pulled down to make room for the highway project, but despite waiting for an extended period, they have yet to receive the expected financial compensation.

Their latest gathering reflects growing dissatisfaction among those who believe their concerns have not received the necessary attention from the authorities responsible for addressing compensation matters.

For many property owners, the demolition represented a significant personal and financial loss, particularly for those whose buildings served as homes, business premises or investments accumulated over several years.

They are therefore appealing to the Ministry of Roads and Highways to listen to their grievances and take concrete steps towards resolving the outstanding compensation issues.

The Kasoa-Winneba Highway is an important road project expected to improve transportation and connectivity for motorists travelling between communities along the route. However, the situation involving the affected property owners has brought attention to the challenges that can arise when infrastructure development requires the demolition of private properties.

While road construction projects are important for national development, affected individuals also expect their rights and legitimate interests to be considered throughout the process.

The property owners are particularly concerned about the length of time they have spent waiting for payment, with their gathering serving as an appeal for government intervention.

They want the relevant authorities to engage with them, provide clear information about the compensation process and ensure that outstanding concerns are addressed.

As their demands continue, attention is now turning to the Ministry of Roads and Highways and the steps it will take to respond to the affected property owners.

For the aggrieved residents, the central issue remains straightforward: they want compensation for the properties demolished in the interest of the highway project.
