Hundreds of residents from Dome-Kwabenya, Comet, Berekuso, Agyementi and Kitase have taken to the streets in a peaceful demonstration to demand the immediate rehabilitation and completion of the Dome-Kwabenya–Berekuso–Kitase Road.

The demonstration, organised by the Dome-Kwabenya–Kitase Road Stakeholders Committee, focused on the deteriorating condition of the road and the difficulties it continues to create for residents, commuters, transport operators and businesses in the affected communities.

Residents used placards to highlight the impact of the poor road conditions, with one reading: “Dust today, health problems tomorrow!”

Another placard read: “Fix our roads, save our health, and livelihoods.”

A third carried the warning: “No roads, no votes.”

The demonstrators said they had exhausted all available channels of engagement with the authorities and were left with no option but to take to the streets to press for action.

“This road is a huge problem for us. It makes our movement very difficult and disruptive. We are pleading with the government to work on our roads for us,” one of the demonstrators told Citi News.

“This is a peaceful demonstration for our roads to be fixed. The road has not been fixed in 20 years. We need our roads to be fixed.”

The protesters are calling on the government and relevant authorities to prioritise the rehabilitation and completion of the road to ease transportation challenges and improve living and business conditions in the affected communities.
