Adjoa Safo... What Are You Doing About The Dome-Kwabenya Road? (Photos)

After several months of transition from the electioneering year last year, constituents of Dome-Kwabenya are yet to boast of real development. Maybe they will have to live with the usual political rhetoric that their development is still in the pipeline.

Dome-Kwabenya constituency is one of the 275 constituencies which has since seen different personalities gain ticket into Ghana’s legislative house.

The personalities who rode on Dome-Kwabenya's name to attain Parliamentary seats seem to have probably forgotten their responsibilities.

The constituency which happens to be a stronghold of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) saw the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament under the late President Mills’ administration, Prof Mike Ocquaye hand over his mantle to lawyer Sarah Adwoa Safo, following the 2012 general elections.

Plans may be far advanced for the stretch of road at Dome to be properly constructed. However residents complain that since the New Patriotic Party (NPP) took over the constituency, particularly, under the leadership of lawyer Mike Ocquaye, the roads have remained the same and currently in an extreme deteriorating state.

Following complaints by some residents at Dome, Peacefmonline.com visited the constituency and found out that the groaning by the constituents was not far from the truth. The stretch of road at the constituency which was semi-tarred prior to the December 7 polls last year, has completely eroded leaving it with gaping potholes which makes it difficult for vehicular and human movements.

Vehicles that ply the road are left in deplorable conditions as drivers who try to evade the potholes run into another, hence having an adverse impact on the activities.

Drivers and passengers always fume at the sight of the potholes but are left with no choice than to maneuver through them which often times results in a bumper-to-bumper traffic.

During rainy seasons, the roads become water-logged and muddy making the roads slippery for both pedestrians and vehicles. Roads conjoining at the Dome market appear to be very compact not because of the activities at the market place but vehicles cram at the location for lack of better access roads.

Some abandoned portions of the roads have also turned weedy and as if to compound the plight of the residents at Dome, the roads have been covered with a layer of dust; compelling them to devise ways to avoid the dusty air in their bid to stay healthy.

The dust, a resident recounted; “affects their health since they have to daily cover their nostrils to avoid infections to the lungs.”

Another resident asked; “What is our MP that we’ve voted for doing about this road? It seems when they (Parliamentarians) get the votes, they forget their responsibilities.” 

The constituents are therefore calling on their Member of Parliament, Adjoa Safo, who the residents believe is shirking her official duties as Parliamentary representative for the constituency, to come to their aid. “We voted for somebody we thought would be different from the others but she is also just the same as any other politician. After being voted MP for this area, we cannot see any improvement coming from her. Moreover, I think she has paid more attention to their pursuit to challenge the President in court than actually doing what is responsibly demanded from her. “Look at our roads. Look at them carefully; just potholes. When it rains too, its hell”, a resident told Peacefmonline.com. He further called on Hon. Adwoa Safo to note that “her duty is to see to the welfare of her constituents at Dome-Kwabenya since 2016 is just around the corner.”
