“This shows how important the road is to you and your people, we promise to deliver a good job to improve the life of the people of Sene west and beyond.
“We all know the project started a few month ago, it is a two year project and out of that we have done almost 8.5km, we have done up to formation and formation means we are ready to receive the sub-base so typically the road is almost getting to form and we want to bring the 8.5km to sub-base level.
“From Atebubu to the district capital where the road was very bad, it’s about 34km and out of that we have done 8.5km in less than a month, we are committed to making sure that this road is brought to the state of the art that can be compared to any road in Ghana or in the world.” He told the media.
Engineer Kelly, pleaded with Nananom and the relevant stakeholders, to advice drivers using the stretch to reduce their speed when approaching the construction zone
“We have two requests to His Royal Majesty and the MCE, the rate at which your vehicles speed here is too much so we will be glad if you could tell them that when they are approaching the construction zone, they should slow down.” Engineer Kelly appealed.
