A private legal practitioner has dragged the Ledzokuku Krowor Municipal Assembly (LEKMA) to court over bad road network in the area.
The lawyer, Mrs Margaret Acheampong is praying the court to compel LEKMA to construct a section of a road leading to her house at the Teshie Nungua Estates.
According to Mrs Margaret Acheampong, the road leading to her house is so bad that “she had to dance agbadza” to and from her house.
[contextly_sidebar id=”UX5bK5EQUo8AYrB8dg9GEz2Tirp8Q8jA”]The lawyer contended that she is a tax payer and pays her property rate to LEKMA hence it is the latters obligation to construct roads in the area.
Meanwhile, the court, presided over by Mr Justice A.K. Okwabi, last Monday, noted that the counsel representing LEKMA in their defence, had admitted that the roads are bad and mentioned that funds were not readily available to make way for the construction.
Counsel for LEKMA said he had held talks with the Assembly to find the way out.
Mrs Acheampong, who represented herself, told the court that when the Municipal Chief Executive chose to reside within the Estates, he ensured that a road known as the “Cocoa Street” was reconstructed.
The High Court adjourned the matter to July 14 for parties in the matter to discuss issues with the view of settling it.
