Residents of Lascala at Teshie in Accra, are up in arms over the failure of the government to fix their pothole-riddled roads.<\/p>\n
According to them, an earlier report by Citi News<\/strong> had pushed the government to begin work on the road, which was abandoned weeks later.<\/p>\n Caleb Kudah, who filed the first report three months ago, returned to the are to report on the progress that had been made.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n He however observed that, the road that runs through the community had deteriorated, leaving drivers frustrated particularly when it rains.<\/p>\n One resident, who preferred to remain anonymous, accompanied Caleb Kudah on a drive through the\u00a0community,\u00a0and expressed her frustration with the daily hustle the residents have to endure when they ply the route.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n “You need to be extra vigilant. It\u2019s very strenuous. Look at all these manholes we are falling into, if it were a rainy day and they were full, how would we see and avoid them,” she said.<\/p>\n “The day [Citi FM<\/strong>] aired the report, I saw trucks full of gravel. The next morning they had leveled the road. I thought that was the end to our troubles but it was only a camouflage.”<\/p>\n
