The Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa North in the Upper East Region James Agalga has taken a swipe at the government for abandoning the construction of the Chuchuliga-Sandema-Fumbisi road that links to parts of the Upper West region road.
According to Mr. Agalga, the NDC-led Administration started the construction of Sandema-Fumbisi stretch of road in May 2016 but the project has been abandoned by the Nana Addo NPP-led government.

The 40-kilometre Navrongo-Chuchuliga-Sandema-Fumbisi road was awarded to Myturn Construction Limited in 2016 under the John Mahama administration. Speaking on Accra based Citi TV’s Face-to-Face program monitored by A1 News, the Builsa North legislator intimated that, the contractor currently supposed to work on the stretch only goes to the site when the President is to visit the region.

He said “our roads continue to be bad. The main highway linking Chuchuliga, Sandema all the way to the Fumbisi rice valley which is the breadbasket of our country remains undone even though the contract itself has been awarded and work started in May 2016. By December 2016 22% of work had been completed. From that time onwards, the only time you see the contractor on site is when the president is visiting the area”.

Answering questions on the provision of water to the people of Builsa North, Mr. Agalga said dams constructed under the government’s one village one dam project are not fit for purpose because they have all been washed off by rains.

” We got few of them [One village one dam], all of them were washed away. In June when the rain came, all of them; they were five or so they did in my constituency, all of them were washed away”.
