‘Our roads have become death traps’

Chief of Manso Domi-Keniago, Nana Obeng Mensah Ababio II Chief of Manso Domi-Keniago, Nana Obeng Mensah Ababio II

The Chief of Manso Domi-Keniago in the Amansie South District of the Ashanti Region, Nana Obeng Mensah Ababio II, has made a passionate appeal to the government to urgently fix the deplorable roads in the district, which he says have become a major hindrance to socio-economic development in the area.

Speaking at a recent grand durbar program organised in aid of a Teachers’ Quarters project at Manso Domi-Keniago, the chief described the road conditions as “death traps” and called for immediate government intervention to ensure residents can travel safely and carry out their daily activities without difficulty.

“We deserve our fair share of the national cake. Our roads are in a terrible state, and life is extremely difficult for residents, especially during the rainy season. We can’t talk about development when our roads remain in this condition,” Nana Obeng Mensah Ababio II lamented.

He emphasized that the poor road network is affecting all aspects of life in the community, including education, healthcare delivery, farming, and trade. According to him, many residents struggle to access essential services, and the youth are being discouraged from returning home due to lack of basic infrastructure.

In addition to the appeal for better roads, the chief also called on the government to establish a tertiary institution, particularly a teacher training college, in the Amansie South District. He said this would help address the persistent shortage of qualified teachers in the area.

“Education is the foundation of every developed society. Unfortunately, our district continues to suffer from an acute shortage of teachers. The presence of a teacher training college here will not only provide access to higher education for our youth but also produce more teachers to serve our schools,” the chief explained.

The durbar, held under the theme “Building Together, Thriving in Peace,” brought together traditional leaders, local government officials, teachers, youth, and residents to support the construction of a Teachers’ Quarters facility aimed at attracting and retaining more educators in the community.

The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Amansie South, Benjamin Marfo, assured the chief and residents of his unwavering commitment to championing their needs at the national level.

“The chief and his elders are doing their part. But development is a shared responsibility. As DCE, I will continue to knock on the doors of ministries and relevant authorities to ensure the concerns of Manso Domi-Keniago are heard and acted upon,” Hon. Marfo pledged.

He further appealed to indigenes of Manso Domi-Keniago living abroad and in other parts of the country to support ongoing development projects back home.

“It’s time for all sons and daughters of this land, whether home or abroad, to come together and support this noble cause. Let us build a better future for our children,” he stated.
