Madina MP, Lawyer Francis Sosu

The Member of Parliament for the Madina Constituency, Lawyer Francis Xavier-Sosu has charged the government to walk the talk since President Akufo-Addo has declared this year as a year of roads.

According to the legislator, constructing various local roads in the communities in the country, especially in the Greater Accra Region is equally important just like the intercity roads. So there is the need for government to concentrate on those projects.

Speaking to the media during his infrastructural tour with the La Nkwantanang Madina Municipal Director of Urban Roads, Adwoa Sefa-Boakye to inspect the construction of roads and drainages in some areas like, Madina Zongo, Madina Melcolm, Teiman Burga town, AyiMensah, Adenta Newsite, Nkwantanang among others, the MP indicated that about 60% of the projects have been completed but 40% is still hanging due to government’s refusal to raise funds for the contractors to finish the projects. 

He noted only one contractor was on duty and the others were 

absent because government has not released their monies for the projects but certificates have been raised for the projects.

Lawyer Sosu appealed to the government to release funds to the contractors particularly those who are in charge of the various local  community roads awarded under the Urban Roads in Madina.
