Ashanti’s regional minister, Simon Osei Mensah, has admitted that it is impossible for the government led by the New Patriotic Party (PNP) to fix all the roads in his region even when they are given eight more years.

“We definitely can’t go all the roads. Even if we add the next four years (NPP), I cannot promise the people of Kumasi and the Ashanti region that all roads will be ready. That one would be lying to people; that is not possible ”, said Simon Osei Mensah to Hello FM in Kumasi monitored by MyNewsGh.com

The New Patriotic Party (PNP) in its 2016 campaign promised that they will fix roads in the country, especially in the Ashanti region.

However, the nuclear power plant after taking power was unable to immediately fulfill its promise to build and repair Ghana’s roads that it promised within the Garden City.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo also declared 2020 the year of the roads, but the party is still struggling to make its promise realistic in parts of the Kumasi metropolis.

But Ashanti regional minister Simon Osei Mensah, in his interview monitored by MyNewSGH.com, categorically stated that it is not possible for the nuclear power plant government to fix all the roads in the region, but indicated that they will accelerate the construction of those with a lot of traffic.

“We will work on most of the sensitive ones. This is how we are doing it. When we realize that it poses a threat, we fix it. So we have to work on the main roads with a lot of traffic, ”he said.
