The Acting Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Lawra in the Upper West Region, Martin Bomba-ire, has lamented the effects of rains on feeder roads in the area.

Mr. Bomba-ire said due to the havoc wrecked on the Wa- Nandom- Hamile road by heavy rains, trucks traveling from Ghana to Burkina Faso and those entering Ghana have been compelled to use several alternative routes.

According to him, all of these routes pass through the Lawra Municipality; a situation that has contributed to the complete deterioration of roads in the area.

Mentioning the affected roads, he cited the Jirapa-Lawra-Duori road, Jirapa-Babile road, the Jirapa-Domwine-Eremon-Lawra road and some areas around the Lawra Senior High School.

Mr. Bomba-ire made this known when he spoke to the media at Lawra.

He was part of a team led by the Upper West Regional Minister, Dr. Hafiz Bin Salih, to ascertain the progress of work on roads that were being reconstructed in the area.

Mr. Bomba-ire noted that the reconstruction of the roads will mean that residents in communities that use those routes would now be able to go about their economic activities with ease.

On his part, the Acting Regional Director of the Ghana Highways Authority, Andrew Okere, said the rains have exposed the need for the Upper West Region to begin developing all the alternative routes in and out of the region.

The Regional Minister, Dr. Hafiz, assured that government would liaise with the necessary authorities to identify and construct all the alternative routes in the region.
