“The NPP government has been in power for eight years, and we have not seen anything ,since the era of Dr Kwame Nkrumah Manso-Datano specifically, we have not seen a tarred road before, so what kind of sin have we committed?” Nana Akowua stated.
The chiefs illustrated their frustration to National Chairman of Natioanal Democratic Congress Mr.Asiedu Nketiah during his campaign visit to Amansie traditional area.
Residents from the various communities within the Amansie area bemoaned that due to the bad road network their businesses have been adversely affected.

Mr Asiedu Nketia stated that the NPP has abandoned various road projects initiated by the erstwhile John Mahama government before being voted out of office, contributing to the current state of their road networks.
He urged residents not to be misled by the governing NPP, which may try to sway their votes by bringing in road construction machinery just days before the general elections.
“I heard Dr. Bawumia say he has now seen the state of Manso’s road network; is he saying he did not see your road during the 2016 and 2020 campaigns?” Asiedu Nketiah asked.
On Tuesday, November 12, 2024, he paid visits to Manso Abore, Datano, Tweabiase, and Abodom, all located in the Amansie area of the Ashanti region.
