The Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Francis Asenso-Boakye, has, as part of his
working visit to the Bono East region, visited the Asueyi Chief Palace in the Techiman
North constituency where he assured the Chief, Nana Oti Panin, and his people of
government’s commitment to upgrading their road network.
Prior to the visit of the Minister, there had been concerns of agitation by section of youth of the
community who had threatened to boycott this year’s elections if the road wasn’t fixed.
In his address, the chief highlighted the dire state of the Asueyi and Buoyem road project that has
been left incomplete. He underscored the impact of the inadequate road infrastructure on the
community's daily life and the urgent need for action.
Furthermore, Nana Oti Panin drew attention to the lack of access to portable water, compounding
the challenges faced by residents. He lamented the political repercussions of neglected roads,
citing the loss of the Techiman North seat by the NPP party in the previous elections as a
consequence.
In his response, the Road Minister, Mr. Asenso-Boakye reiterated the government's commitment
to development, particularly in the newly created regions like Bono East. He emphasized the
purpose of establishing the new regions to bring development closer to the people, assuring Nana
Oti Panin that the NPP government has the region's best interests at heart.
"Nana, it is only the one who gave birth to a child who can properly take care of him or her," the
Minister remarked. "The NPP government birthed this region and therefore has the responsibility
to ensure its complete development."
Despite the challenges, Nana Oti Panin commended the Nana Addo administration for its
achievements in health and education, including the establishment of chip compounds and
classrooms. However, he urged the Road Minister to prioritize the repair of their roads to prevent
further electoral losses and improve the quality of life for residents.
