Wassa Akropong, Western Region, Ghana – Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe, Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, has issued a passionate, detailed public appeal to the Government of Ghana and the Ministry of Roads and Highways to urgently approve and rehabilitate 33 critical feeder and inter-community roads across her constituency — in addition to ongoing approved projects.

 

In a fiery statement delivered at a community durbar in Wassa Akropong on October 25, 2025, the MP declared:

“These are not just roads — these are lifelines. Farmers lose crops, pregnant women deliver on motorbikes, students drop out because of mud in the rainy season. I have fought for the approved roads. Now, I am begging on behalf of my people: Fix these 33 roads — or watch Amenfi Central bleed.”

The plea comes amid growing frustration over decades of neglect, with some roads unmotorable for over 15 years.

Why These Roads Matter: Real Stories from Amenfi Central

• Farmers in Juabo: “We lose 60% of cocoa during rain. Trucks can’t enter. This road is death.”
• Pregnant Woman in Ankasie: “I gave birth on a motorbike last month. The baby survived by God’s grace.”
• Headteacher, Kwabeng: “Attendance drops to 30% in rainy season. Children walk 3 hours through mud.”
• Traders in Agona Amenfi: “We pay double transport. Goods rot. Fix the road = fix our pockets.”

 

Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe: “I Will Not Rest”

The MP, visibly emotional, vowed:

“I have secured breast cancer screening, scholarships, water projects — but roads are the backbone. I will camp at the Ministry if I must. These 33 roads are non-negotiable.”

 

She revealed:
– Petitions submitted to Minister for Roads and President Mahama.
– Cost estimates: GHC 420 million for full rehabilitation.
– Funding pitch: Include in 2026 Budget or GETFund Infrastructure Levy.

 

Government Response (So Far)

• Ministry of Roads: “We acknowledge the MP’s plea. Amenfi Central is a priority under the Critical Roads Programme. Feasibility studies ongoing.”
• Regional Minister: “We are fast-tracking 5 of the 33 for emergency graveling by December 2025.”

 

Community Mobilization: #FixAmenfiRoadsNow

• Youth groups in Wassa Akropong launched #FixAmenfiRoadsNow — trending with 15,000 posts in 24 hours.
• Market women plan peaceful march to Accra in November.
• Chiefs issued a joint communiqué 7-day ultimatum for concrete commitment.

 

Why This Matters

Amenfi Central produces:
– 18% of Ghana’s cocoa
– Gold, bauxite, timber
Yet remains one of the poorest constituencies due to infrastructure decay.

These 33 roads = economic freedom, healthcare access, education, dignity.

 

Hon. Joana Gyan Cudjoe has drawn a line in the mud:

“Approve the roads you promised. Now, fix these 33 — or explain to a mother who lost her child on a broken path.”
