Goaso (Brong Ahafo) – Cocoa farmers in the Nkawie Electoral Area near Sankore in the Asunafo District of Brong Ahafo have appealed to the Department of Feeder Roads and the Asunafo District Assembly to repair two bridges in the area to facilitate the transportation of the people and farm produce to the marketing centres.
The bridges, over Rivers Abonyere and Dei, collapsed during last year’s raining season, rendering the area inaccessible. Kingsley Owura Asabre, Assembly Member, told Ghana News Agency at Sankore that the deplorable nature of the bridges had given room to middlemen to exploit the farmers.
He expressed the hope that the bridges, which were constructed by the people through communal labour with the support of the Assembly, would be rehabilitated soon. Asabre pledged the people’s readiness to offer communal labour towards the work.
