Bole, Ghana – Constituency Watch, a civic group in the Bole-Bamboi Constituency in the Bole District of the Northern Region, has observed that poor road networks to local communities in the area are seriously impeding quality education and healthcare delivery to the people.
According to the group, the situation has worsened in this rainy season making it difficult for residents around Cache to use their main road linking the Bole township.
The group blamed the contractor working on the Bole–Chache road for failing to level heaps of sand on the road so that motorbikes and other vehicles can facilitate the movement of school children, teachers and healthcare workers to render their services.
Constituency Watch Bole-Bamboi called on the DCE for Bole Madam Veronica Alele Heming and the Member of Parliament for Bole-Bamboi Alhaji Yusif Sulemana to as a matter of urgency put the contractor back on the road to prevent further accidents and constant breakdown of vehicles.
Constituency Watch said about 61 per cent of roads in the District have been classified as poor and unmotorable.
They expressed concern about the deplorable state of the Bole to Chache road and many more across the district.
Constituency Watch said they are not happy about the poor state of Manful to Gbenfu road, Kiape to Sonyor road, Doli-Simalyiri road, Bole to Tamale road and the Gbanpe road.
They appealed for urgent attention to be given to the poor infrastructural situation in the district because the poor state of roads has become a headache affecting the movement of pupils to and from school as well as businesses amongst others.
The group said the state of the about three (3) kilometre-stretch road from the Cocoa Research to Bale has become deplorable following recent heavy rains resulting in the area.
Nkilgi FM spoke to a member of the Constitunecy Watch Bole-Bamboi Eliasu Mohammed popularly called Kofi Yesu and he said there are many deaths in the Bole District because of the poor nature of the roads.
Eliasu commended the people of Mandari for sacking a contractor who refused to spread heaps of sand on the Bole to Mandari stretch of road.
