“We are hoping that the situation will improve because if it doesn’t then our lots will just become worse.”
According to him the Chmaber is looking forward to changes in the situation based on the promises made by the president adding, “Ghana gas has come in and promises had been made by several areas that resources had been gathered to bring in some more gas.”
