Almost nine months after the sod cutting, the contractor has only cleared the shoulders of the road and this has ginger the anger of the residents of the region to speak ill about the government anytime the ply on the road.
Reacting to this, the Western Regional Minister said, the road is of the topmost priority to the Western region and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government so we should all stay calm as the construction is awaiting the final design and works will start very soon.
