The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Bernard Antwi popularly called ‘Wontumi’ has stated that putting up infrastructural developments in the region is the birth right of residents.
He believes the region which is the stronghold of the NPP has become a laughing stock because its under developed.
Chairman Wontumi said it is pointless for residents to make noise before social amenities such as toilets, schools, bore holes, interchanges and schools are constructed.
He wondered why the region is left out of infrastructural developments adding that successive governments have neglected the region thus beautifying other regions.
The NPP regional Chairman stated that successive governments always rush to develop the region after satisfying other regions.
Speaking on Abusua Nkommo hosted by Kwame Adinkra, he observed that the region is surrounded by potholes making roads unmotorable and causing preventable accidents.
According to him, the region is lagging behind in infrastructural developments as compared to other regions calling for a facelift for the Garden city and the region as a whole.
‘Development of Ashanti region should be a collective effort, its our birth right for the President to develop the region. We should do away with partisan politics when it comes to rebuilding the region. We should put our heads together. Tema roads are under asphalting, we can do same for Ashanti region, I know that Ashanti region will be next after Tema and Accra,’ he said.
Chairman Wontumi appealed to the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to ensure that bad roads in the region are fixed.
Parts of the region floods whenever it rains sometimes rendering residents homeless.
The Minister of Roads and Highways Kwasi Amoako Atta weeks ago visited Kumasi to assess roads in the region for possible fixing and construction of interchanges.
