The Concerned Youth of Oforikrom in the Ashanti Region are demanding the resignation of the Member of Parliament, Emmanuel Marfo and municipal chief executive (MCE) Abraham Kwame Antwi.
The group on Saturday (21 January) staged a protest against these officials, citing stalled government projects, and a poor road network including a broken pedestrian bridge linking Anloga to Sisakyi suburbs.
Residents in the two communities made several calls to the municipal authorities to fix the bridge but all fell on deaf ears.
Residents mobilised themselves and constructed a temporary wooden bridge to link the two communities.
“The poor nature of the temporary bridge constructed by residents of the two communities poses danger to the lives of pedestrians, especially school children and has even claimed lives”, the group said in a petition read by its Convener Jerry James Sukah.
