Mahama Rehabilitate Mepe Township Roads ahead of the 68th Afenorto Festival
The Constituency Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the North Tongu Constituency, C. K. Akaho-Tay accompanied by a team of executives, has inspected the ongoing rehabilitation wotks on the Mepe township roads.
The road rehabilitation was made possible by the office of the incoming President John Dramani Mahama, who sent a grader to the community to reshape the internal roads to enhance mobility within Mepe ahead of the community’s annual Afenorto Festival.
The rehabilitation is aimed at fixing the damages caused by devastating floods nearly a year ago, as a result of the reckless spillage of the Akosombo and Kpong dams by the Volta River Authority (VRA).
Since work commenced on Friday, over 15 communities and adjoining roads have so far been fixed, delighting the inhabitants a great deal.
Some of the areas rehabilitated so far include but are not limited to the following;
. Adzaklo Junction to Adukonus Hse.
. Kizito by Pass to Vokpo Cemetery Road. (ie behind RC JHS)
. RC JHS down through ”God is God Avenue” and Pentecost Central church to RC Primary.
. Roman Street to Global Church Junction.
. Global Church Junction to Lukunu Village.
. Mamaga Adzo Sreku IV street.
. Togbega Kwao Anipati street to Todzokpoe.
. Keta street to Adzigo Torkor.
. Mamaga Awusi Sreku street to Dumega Glah street.
The chiefs and people of the Mepe Traditional Area have expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the NDC and President Mahama for the prompt intervention.
The community’s annual festival began last Friday and the road rehabilitation has enhanced the preparations for the celebration.
It appears the NDC and President Mahama’s intervention have brought significant relief and joy to the Mepe community, showcasing the positive impact of political leadership on local communities.
It must also be placed on record that since the flood robbed affected victims of their properties, the government has yet to put a roof on the head of a single affected victim.
“Majority of our people are in tents and inhumane structures. How irresponsible can this government of Nana Addo-Bawumia and thr NPP be?” some of the community people lamented.
“We are therefore calling on the government to put an end to the politics of convenience and treat each citizen and community equally and with respect,” they added.
