Three(3) trucks were stuck in the mud at a portion of the road and one other car fell on its side between Mumuni and Nyame Dikan route yesterday.
The incidents stopped vehicles travelling from Samreboi, Mumuni to Prestea and those cars from Prestea to Mumuni. This occurred after a continuous downpour in the area which was worsened as a result of the bad nature of the road. The Trucks were transporting foodstuffs and other goods from Mumuni Market.
One man who spoke to Osofo Kwabena Anane (Royal FM Rep) who was at ghe incident used the opportunity to plead with the government to put their roads in good shape. According to him, the government must not wait for their MP to pass away before asphalting their roads as roads connecting Nyame Dikan, Mumuni and Prestea Nkwanta are deathtraps.
The Chief for the area, Nana Kwaku Amankrah, has appealed to the government to come and construct the road for them though he is disappointed in the Government.
