Ensuring completion of Bawdie-Asankrangwa road my priority — Ignatius Kwasi Afrifa

Hon Ignatius Kwasi Afrifa

The Bawdie-Asankrangwa road is a crucial infrastructure project in Ghana. The road connects the towns of Bawdie and Asankrangwa, serving as a vital transportation link for residents and facilitating economic growth in the region.

However, the road has been in a deplorable state over the past years.

In recent news, Hon Ignatius Kwasi Afrifa, the NPP Parliamentary Candidate for the 2024 election, has committed to ensuring the completion of the Bawdie-Asankrangwa road in 2024.

This promise he said reflects his dedication to the development of the region, acknowledging the importance of this project for the community's progress.

He said this when he met Asankrangwa Traditional Authorities and the media on 29th December 2023 at the Chief's Palace.

He highlighted the significance of his promise and the potential impact it could have on the community. According to him, the 56-kilometre road connects five constituencies such as Amenfi Central, Amenfi East, Amenfi West, Aowin and Suaman.

He assured the Asankrangwa Traditional Authorities and the media houses that were present that he had the chance to meet the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia following the 2024 budget where he raised a lot of concerns about the network issues in Amenfi West and unemployment but the number one priority was the Bawdie-Asankrangwa road.

According to Honourable Afrifa, the bad road infrastructure hinders economic growth and development in the area. "Businesses face difficulties in transporting goods and services, which lead to increased costs and limited market reach," he added.
