As the rains intensify in this rainy season, people living in areas with untarred roads find it very difficult to get access to transportation to their various destinations.
Farmers in the hinterlands are the most affected people.
Adom Kasiebo’s road and rains project today takes us to Amenfi west in the Western Region.
The NDC MP for the area, John Gyetuah said the road from the constituency capital, Asankraguah to Sameraboi is in a very poor shape making transporting of farm produce very difficult.
He noted that apart from the main road from Asakragua which is tarred but with many potholes on it, the other trunk roads is not accessible at all.
Mr. John Gyetuah disclosed that contractors who were awarded the roads have also abandoned the work with reasons best known to them.
He spoke to Akuamoah Boateng about the state of some roads in the constituency.
In the neighboring Central Region, the NPP MP for Upper Denkyira west, Benjamin Kofi Ayeh also shared his experience as far as non-motorable roads in his constituency is concerned.
He noted that whether in the rainy season or not, roads in Amenfi west with Diaso as the capital is nothing to write home about.

HEAVY DOWNPOUR DISPLACED MANY IN W/R
Many people have been displaced in the Jomoro and Enchi areas in the Western Region following last weekend heavy down pour.
The affected people are now putting up with friends and family members in the neighboring towns.
In an interview with Adom Kasiebo this morning, the Western Regional Minister, Paul Evans Aidoo confirmed that and said the regional coordinating directorate has visited the flood victims and assisted them with relief items.
The western Region is enriched with many natural resources like Gold, Bauxite, Cocoa, Rubber and Timber. Despite all these natural richness of the region, many roads in the region is unmotorable.
Mr. Aidoo noted the that the region is surrounded by numerous rivers and streams, so whenever it rains these rivers overflow it banks and caused havoc to those living in such places.
The Western Regional Minister has therefore urged the people living near river Desre in Enchi to relocate to safer place to avoid any future occurrence.
Meanwhile, the collapsed bridge on the Enchi- Bechema road is yet to receive attention for reconstruction because the contract is now in tender.

NPA HAS NO BOARD
Many Ghanaians were anticipating upward adjustments in fuel prices this week, but this could not come on as NPA is still deliberating with stakeholders in the transport industry.
The Public Relations Officer for NPA, Stephen Larbi in an interview with Ekourba Gyasi on Edwaso Nsem this morning said, NPA in collaboration with the Ministries of Transport and Energy and Transport Unions are deliberating on the proposed new adjustment.
Mr. Stephen Larbi noted that what has also accounted for the delay in coming out with the new adjustment price is the non-availability of board for the NPA.
It will be recalled that President Mills dissolved state institution boards when he assumed office, but new boards are being formed.
