This petition has now become necessary because of the apparent neglect of Denu by successive governments in the matter of our roads, infrastructure and other facilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeveral attempts have been made by well-meaning individuals in the past to get our leaders to construct these roads which have seen no proper rehabilitation over the years but to no avail. We are therefore by this petition giving the Ketu South municipal assembly and for that matter government a one week ultimatum to start an action on these roads, a project that is overdue or face our\u00a0wrath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-220922 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/bad-roads-2.jpg\" alt=\"bad roads (2)\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A member of the group, Lawrence Zormelo, speaking on <strong>Eyewitness News<\/strong> said, residents of\u00a0the area\u00a0have over the years been deprived of major infrastructural projects hence their demands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince some of us were born in that community, we have never seen any form of road construction in the Denu Township. We have been neglected and so we are saying that we are giving government a one week ultimatum or there will be a massive demonstration in the constituency. They should therefore start doing something now because the roads are like manholes and in a very deplorable state. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By: Marian Ansah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<br \/>\n<a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EfeAnsah\" data-show-count=\"false\">Follow @EfeAnsah<\/a><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s) [0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group calling itself the Concerned Citizens of Denu in the Ketu South Constituency of the Volta Region, are livid over what they say is government\u2019s neglect of some infrastructural projects including the construction of roads in the constituency.
