Roads and drainage system to be rehabilitated

Kumasi (Ashanti Region) - Jewuu Construction Limited, the company awarded contract to rehabilitate roads and drainage system at Ahensan in the Kumasi Metropolis, commenced work on the 1.4 billion cedis project last week.

Apart from improving the drainage system, all the 11 access roads in the Ahensan Electoral Area would be re-shaped and tarred. Edward Akuamoah-Boateng, Assemblyman for the Ahensan Electoral Area made this known to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) after visiting the project site at Ahensan, Kumasi at the week-end, to inspect works on the first phase of the project which involves construction of drainage slaps.

Akuamoah-Boateng, who is also Chairman for the Asokwa Sub-Metro Council, said work would be carried out in phases, beginning with the construction of drainage slaps to improve upon the drainage system and then the rehabilitation of the roads.

Akuamoah-Boateng appealed to residents of Ahensan to cooperate with the company to ensure the early completion of the project and requested owners of kiosks close to the road to re-locate them to facilitate work.
