The group of demonstrators on Monday morning blocked major roads in the Swedru town, making it difficult for pedestrians to ply the route.
Some drivers who ply that stretch of the road said they have had to spend a majority of their daily sales in buying spare parts for their vehicles as a result of the deplorable state of the roads.
