Ajumako Enyinasu (Central Region), 22nd July 99, –
Three communities in the Ajumako-Enyan-Essiam district -Enyinasu, Boso and Solomon – have threatened to boycott the 2000 general elections if their 18-kilometre road is not reconstructed to facilitate the evacuation of foodstuffs and cocoa to the urban towns.
The decision was taken at an emergency area council meeting organised by the assembly and unit committee members of the three communities on Sunday at Enyinasu.
The meeting presided over by Mr Kobena Ofori, chairman of the unit committees and attended by elders of the communities expressed concern over delay tactics of past and present governments to repair the road which has been in a deplorable state.
Several petitions sent to the Regional Administration and the District Assembly has yielded no results.
The communities with a population of about 10,000 are major foodstuffs producing areas. They rank second in cocoa production in the district.
