The road from Aboade to Ayiem, Mpintsin to Benso , Trebuomt Ayiem, Botodwina to Adanse Edaa including other communities within the Mpohor district are in a very deplorable state which needs urgent attention from the government.
Residents who agreed to speak to this newspaper revealed to our reporter that they have raised series of concerns on the bad state of most of the roads in the district but the authorities in government have turned death ears to their concerns which has been a big worry to them .
They further lament to this paper that , commercial drivers charges very exorbitant transportation fares on commuters who frequently ply the road all because the roads are in a very deplorable state.

This newspaper made several efforts to get in touch with the District chief executive for Mpohor, Hon Ignatius Asaah Mensah to react to the concerns raised by the residents over their bad road network but it proved futile whereas the member of parliament for Mpohor, Hon Kobena Saani , could also not be reached for comment.
Meanwhile the residents disclosed to this paper that their MP has made several efforts as his political party is in government to get the deplorable state of the roads fixed but the Roads and Highways minister, Hon Kwasi Amoako Atta is not addressing the issue .
By this that both the indigenous people and residents of Mpohor have already made their mind to vote massively against the npp in the next general elections if their bad roads remain unfixed for them.
