The Member of Parliament (MP) for Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfrom, Felix Akwetey Okley, has made significant strides in addressing one of his key promises to the people of his constituency.

On May 1, he launched a project aimed at reshaping the major roads in the area, a move that is set to alleviate the challenges faced by commuters and residents.

This initiative, which has garnered support from both the District Assembly and the Office of the National DRIP Coordinator, is focused on the Atta Mills Memorial Highway. The first phase of the project, which spans approximately nine kilometers from Old Barrier to Bortianor, is already underway. The work is being managed by an engineer, with necessary equipment provided through DRIP resources from both the district and national levels.

Speaking at the launch of the project, MP Akwetey reiterated his commitment to easing the daily struggles of residents who have long dealt with subpar road conditions. He also took the opportunity to commend President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for restructuring the District Roads Improvement Programme (DRIP) to better respond to local emergencies.

The project is expected to vastly improve road safety and access for the constituency, making life easier for everyone who uses the route. Despite these improvements, Akwetey raised concerns about the recurring mudslides that block the road from the toll booth to Weija during heavy rains. He pointed out that the inconvenience caused by these mudslides, which often disrupt daily activities, requires a permanent solution.

The MP expressed hope that the government, alongside the Minister for Roads, would address this pressing issue and bring about a lasting fix. He also thanked the National DRIP Coordinator for their continued support and reaffirmed his commitment to working with the district assembly to tackle the many road issues that continue to affect the Ga South district.
