Speaking during a courtesy call on traditional leaders in the area, Mr. Akparibo acknowledged the severe hardship the deplorable road is causing residents and confirmed that the government is treating it as a priority.

He revealed that the Ahafo Regional Minister, the Member of Parliament for the area, and himself have jointly petitioned the Minister for Roads and Highways, who has given assurance that a contractor will soon be deployed to the site.

“The government is aware of the difficulties residents face on that stretch. I want to assure you that the Kasapin–Bediako road is among the roads earmarked for immediate attention and will be completed before President Mahama leaves office,” Mr. Akparibo stated.

Meanwhile, Assembly Member for the area, Razak Ahmed, told Adom News that failure to deliver on the road project could cost the Member of Parliament, Haruna Mohammed, significant political support in the 2028 general elections.

“If the MP does not push harder for the road’s construction, he risks losing the confidence of the people—and that will affect the NDC’s fortunes here,” Mr. Razak warned.

Speaking during a courtesy call on the Goaso Traditional Council, Mr. Akparibo—who was accompanied by the Member of Parliament and Assembly staff—said he was saddened by the lack of essential infrastructure in the capital.

“It is disheartening to see that Goaso, despite being the regional capital, lacks basic amenities such as good roads, quality schools, and a well-equipped hospital to serve the people,” he said.

He appealed to the traditional authorities to partner with the Assembly and the MP to advocate for and facilitate the development needed to uplift Goaso to a standard befitting its status.

The Member of Parliament for the area, Haruna Mohammed, also reassured the chiefs and residents of Goaso that he and the Assembly are committed to bringing progress to the town.

“We will not fail or disappoint the people of Goaso. We are determined to work together with the chiefs to bring the development the town deserves,” the MP affirmed.
