Funding constraints are one of the main reasons residents in the\u00a0Adentan\u00a0Municipal Assembly have to contend with a terrible road network and vehicular traffic jams most days.<\/p>\n
The Municipal Chief Executive of the Assembly, Daniel Alexander Nii-Noi Adumuah made this point in response to complaints from residents who ply many of the heavily-eroded roads in need of repair and expansion.<\/p>\n
There have also been several calls on the\u00a0assembly to complete the footbridges on the Adenta-Madina stretch which have remained untouched for about half a decade.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong>‘s Bernard Avle, Mr. Adumuah explained that the assembly’s revenue base made addressing these challenges in the short term virtually\u00a0impossible.<\/p>\n He said raising money for roads was “not easy” despite the high-end residents and estates like Trasacco within his municipality.<\/p>\n “Our assessment is that we need about 600 kilometres of roads in Adenta. Only about 120 kilometres of these roads has been done. I have also been told that the estimate for a kilometre of roads in GHc 1.5 million.\u201d<\/p>\n
