The Chairman of Parliament\u2019s Roads and Transport Committee, Samuel Ayeh-Paye, says there is the need to have a specific agency that will be responsible for the maintenance of street lights in the country.<\/p>\n
Although Ghanaians pay for streetlight services, many neighborhoods and highways have malfunctioning streetlights.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”7vjKus1TKDPUoWZdqKEbCoPWO3AXO2n5″]Concerns have been expressed about the danger posed by malfunctioning streetlights both in the communities and on the roads.<\/p>\n
Residents have often blamed several robberies and road accidents on malfunctioning streetlights in the country.<\/p>\n
According to Mr. Ayeh-Paye, the situation can be addressed if a specific institution is put in charge of all streetlights across the country.<\/p>\n
