Residents of Sawua Vow to Prevent the Commissioning of Ashanti Regional Hospital
The residents of Sawua in the Bosomtwe District of the Ashanti Region have vowed to prevent the government from commissioning the Ashanti Regional Hospital,if their abandoned road is not fixed by the time the project gets to commissioning stage.
According to the residents the government awarded the road from Sawua Junction to Sawua township under contract with the aim of granting easy and smooth access to the facility.
“The contractor after getting the contract removed the potholed bitumen portion of the road with the aim of reconstructing the road through to the hospital but has since left site.
Speaking to Onua news, residents revealed that the contractor after abandoning their road has commenced construction from Feyiase to the hospital,stating that the government has forgotten that the 150acres land for the hospital project was offered by Nana Sawuahene.
They further noted that they will not allow the hospital to be commissioned if their road is not fixed, saying “No Sawua Road,No Regional Hospital”.
The Assembly Member of the area Hon.Prince Kwame Adutwum said, They will embark on a mammoth demonstration against the government and do everything possible to stop the commissioning of the facility if their demand is not met.
