The people noted that the construction of the one kilometre road from the Nyohini Yapala  Community through Nyohini Binabaani to the Bolgatanga Highway had  been their major  nightmare. Mr Alhassan Ziblim Khalid, a resident of the community, told the Ghana News Agency that  Mr Haruna Iddrisu, the Member of Parliament, assured the residents that the road had  been awarded on contract after the matter came up in the media.

“We were told by the MP that the construction of the road had been given to a contractor  and we don’t want the change of government to affect the project. We are ready to follow  through the process until the full realisation of the project,” he said.

Mr Issahaku Baatooro, another resident, said: “Most residents cannot sleep when it rains  because our houses get flooded and we have to use stones and sandbags to protect our  houses”.

He said during the rainy seasons the road became so bad that even pedestrians could not  use it adding that motorists and pedestrians used hours to get to their destinations  which would have taken some few minutes if the roads were in good shape.

“We don’t know whether the contractor will still do the work since the MPs party did not  win the elections,” he said. “I don`t even know why it is taking them so long to start the construction because they  will not need to demolish any house before the construction starts,’’ the Imam of the  community, Alhassan Musah, said.

He appealed to the MP and the Government to come to their aid by constructing the road  before the raining season starts. ‘’We are calling on the MP and the said contractor to please construct the road for us before the raining season,’’ Mr Awal Kashaara, a community leader, said.
