He bemoaned the situation, indicating that all activities in the area are halted when it rains.

The Abuakwahene cautioned that they will not allow politicians to campaign on their lands until all the roads linking Dunkwa on- offin and Twifu praso are tarred.

He revealed that they lack infrastructural development, blaming successive governments of neglecting people of Denkyira, Assin and Twifu.

According to him, they were taken aback when President Dramani Mahama, in his state of the Nation’s address stated emphatically that the Dunkwa- Twifu Prado road had been tarred.
