“Am here to represent the people of Koforidua who are worried about their roads and their street lights,’’ Mr Agbodo Godsway told the press.
Some commercial drivers at the visited lorry stations expressed their worry over the deplorable roads which damage vehicles in the region.
The demonstrators called on the government to construct better roads and fixed street lights in Koforidua communities.
They said that dust and debris from unpaved roads result in respiratory problems for residents.
