The Diamond Cement-Gakli Road, which has been in a deplorable state for over a decade, is set to receive a much-needed facelift. Madam Abla Dzifa Gomashie, the Member of Parliament for Ketu South, has assured her constituents that the road will be upgraded. The road serves several communities within the constituency and provides a vital link for residents and other road users. Its poor condition has caused widespread dissatisfaction among locals.
Madam Gomashie made the announcement during a meeting with constituents where she presented 2,000 bags of fertiliser to farmers and streetlights to the three traditional areas in the Ketu South Municipality. The fertiliser donation aims to support agricultural production and improve the livelihoods of farmers in the area. The presentation of streetlights is part of efforts to enhance visibility at night and contribute to security in the communities.
According to Madam Gomashie, contractors have recently visited the area to undertake pegging as part of preparatory activities towards the commencement of work on the road. This development indicates that the upgrade is imminent. The MP emphasized her commitment to working with government agencies and relevant stakeholders to advance development initiatives in the constituency.
The Diamond Cement-Gakli Road upgrade is one of several development projects being pursued in the constituency. Madam Gomashie briefed constituents on other ongoing and planned projects, including the sea defence project, the Ho-Aflao Road, and the 24-hour market initiative at Glidzi in the Klikor Traditional Area. These projects aim to improve economic opportunities and living conditions for the people of Ketu South.
Madam Gomashie also addressed the status of the Aflao Modern Market project, which has stalled due to land acquisition issues. She revealed that the President has issued a directive to resolve the matter and facilitate the commencement of work. The MP is working with the Volta Regional Minister to address the issue and ensure the project's implementation.
The MP's efforts to improve the lives of her constituents extend beyond infrastructure development. The donation of 2,000 bags of fertiliser and 20 streetlights each to the three traditional areas demonstrates her commitment to enhancing economic opportunities and security in the area. These interventions are part of a broader strategy to improve living conditions and promote development in Ketu South.
Madam Gomashie urged her constituents to disregard claims that the development focus is solely on the 24-hour market currently being undertaken at Glidzi. She emphasized that her administration is working on multiple projects to drive development and improve the lives of the people of Ketu South. The upgrade of the Diamond Cement-Gakli Road is a significant step towards achieving this goal.
