“The DCE is also here so I will tell him to write it and forward it to the [Regional] Minister so that we can also forward this to Roads Minister to take immediate action on this road,” the Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, Elizabeth Agyemang disclosed.
“This shouldn’t have happened. We could have avoided it. We have to be very careful about ourselves. If you are not careful, you can die. We are aware that the roads are not good already. We are all aware.”
She added: “I have to call an emergency REGSEC meeting for us to discuss what we are going to do. I cannot decide alone. We have to meet all of them and we take a decision.”
