Drivers and residents who ply the Goaso-Kumasi road in the Ahafo Region have appealed to government to resolve their road challenges.

According to them, the pothole roads have made commuting in the Region challenging and discomfiting as some of the residents accused the contractor, Kofi Job for the delays which have contributed to the frequent breakdown of their vehicles and high cost of maintenance.

They bemoaned how promises made to them by successive governments have not seen the light of day with the recent being the New Patriotic Party but are yet to see any action.

“We always visit the mechanic anytime we use the road because of breakdown. We sometimes do not want to use the road at all.

"We are urging our authorities to fix the roads for us. The potholes can easily cause accidents especially in such a time of rain.”
