Reconstruct collapsing Abensu – Pokuase bridge

Dear Editor, I AM writing to add my voice to that of the residents of Abensu and Pokuase who have asked authorities to reconstruct the only bridge which connects them to nearby communities. I read a worrying news report early this week in which the residents lamented the challenges of crossing the collapsing bridge. The bridge was said to have developed some defects but there have not been any attempts to reconstruct it. The residents, including school children, are reported to be stranded anytime it rains and I believe steps must be taken to address this challenge. Some residents were said to have lost their lives when they attempted to cross the bridge after a recent downpour. I believe every single life matters hence there must be early
intervention before any more lives are lost. The comments I read suggested disappointment and frustration among the residents who include some of my family and friends. This is the reason I wish to use your medium to once again draw the attention
to the plight of members of this community. I would be watching closely and would not hesitate to give commendation to where it is due.
Leticia Kumi, Taifa.
