“I really suffered before having this machine today to reshape the road for the good people in the electoral area.
Ayensuano is a mess when it comes to issue with roads and this has really made the assembly excavator very busy and also difficult to get when you are an assembly member and have issues with the roads in your electoral area.
Am very glad that what I have been fighting for over a year and half is now yielding positive results.
Due to the bad road network in my electoral area, market women, drivers, farmers and even pregnant women cry day in and day out.
My key vision as an assembly man is to provide good road network and also provide portable drinking water for my people. After the road construction, any other thing will be given to my people soon.
