The Member of Parliament for\u00a0 Saboba, Hon Joseph Nikpe Bukari, has called on the Ministry of Roads and Highways for emergency intervention to repair some major roads that have cut off some communities in the Constituency.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the MP, the Wapuli \u2013 Yankazia – Wadol, the Wapuli – Bubruni and the Wapul – Jilimani Chanbung roads have been washed away by rains thereby cutting off the communities from the District.<\/p>\n

He said, bumpy rides, deep potholes, hilly paths and eroded portions are some defining features of a \u00a0total of 26 kilometre roads, which connect the communities to Saboba and to other Districts of the Northern Region.<\/p>\n

Hon Nikpe Bukari disclosed this when he posed a question to the Minister of Roads and Highways on the floor of Parliament, on Friday, July 21, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Speaker, I rise to ask the Minister for Roads and Highways when works on the following roads will resume and be completed: Wapuli \u2013 Yankazia – Wadol, the Wapuli – Bubruni, and the Wapul – Jilimani Chanbung roads ?\u201d, the MP questioned the sector Minister, Hon Kwesi Amoako Atta.<\/p>\n

He said that, daily, over 5,000 residents of these communities went through hell and agony to reach their destinations, a situation he said needed urgent attention from the government.<\/p>\n

In response, the sector minister Amoako Atta said the\u00a0 6.5km Wapuli-Yankazia-Wadol feeder road, is an inter-district road connecting \u00a0Saboba and Gushiegu districts in the Northern Region.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to him, the stretch of road is partially engineered and is in poor condition, while the Wapuli-Bubruni feeder road is 8km long and is also in poor condition.<\/p>\n

Again, the Minister admitted that the Wapuli-Jilimani-Chanbung road is 11.5km long and is also a partially engineered road in poor condition.<\/p>\n

He said the roads were awarded on Contract for the rehabilitation under the project titled \u201cRehabilitation of WapuliBubruni-Jiram & Wapuli-Nakpagni-Chambung (26km)\u201d on 12th July 2016 and commenced on 29th September 2016 for completion by 29th September 2017.<\/p>\n
