Bad roads still staring at us
Dear Editor,
Expectations of citizens, in line with the pronouncement of Government that year 2020/2021 as ‘Year of Roads,’ I believe is yet to be met. Every day I drive on some bad roads and wonder how motorable they could become.
While I wait patiently for the government to deliver on this promise, I am particularly concerned about the ‘Block Factory to Barrier’ stretch of the Weija road. Apart from its deteriorating state, I have noticed how the sand is gradually covering the road
The road becomes almost inaccessible when it rains and the heaps of sand cause some commercial vehicles to do dangerous maneuvers thereby putting the lives of passengers in danger.
I have sighted also some community roads around Ordorkor and Darkuman which have been left unattended to for years. I believe we can do better to make these roads user-friendly.
From Farouk Adams, Weija.
