The rapid development of roads and other crucial infrastructure in the Assin North Constituency has reportedly come to a standstill prior to the upcoming by-election in the area.

According to reports, a significant number of contractors, who were appointed by the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration, have abandoned the ongoing projects and left the construction sites despite receiving funds from the government.

Peace FM shared a video showcasing an unfinished road development project in Assin Akonfudi, a community within the Assin North Constituency.

While a large portion of the road had undergone grading, only one side had been coated with a black substance, which could be tar or bitumen.

Interestingly, the substance has also been applied directly onto bare sand at certain points without the presence of gravels, unlike other sections of the road.

The residents according to Peace FM have been complaining bitterly about the abandonment of the road.

They are saying that the government was only deceiving them into voting for their candidate in the by-election.
