Mr Sorvile Emmanuel , the Assemblyman for the Taari Electoral Area in the Sawla -Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah Region, has appealed to Government to rehabilitate roads in the area to boost agricultural production.
He stated that agriculture was the main source of livelihood of the people, however, due to the bad road network linking communities to major market centres, many especially, the youth were getting discouraged about venturing into farming.
Speaking in an interview with Yagbon News,he described roads in the Electoral Area as bad, making movement of vehicles extremely difficult.
“Many people in the communities engage in farming where their farm produce need to be transported to the markets soon after harvesting, but when we cannot transport our produce in good time, it goes bad and put us in debt,” he said.
He appealed to the Ministry of Roads and Highways through the Department of Feeder Roads to consider adding the Taari – Toorteng road to the list of those earmarked for rehabilitation this year.
“As you can see the road network is very bad even though I will send my proposal across and make intensive follow-ups, I want to appeal to the Ministry of Roads and Highways to help construct the roads”.
He noted that the construction of the roads in the area would not only facilitate movement in the area, but would boost economic activities and help create employment avenues.
Mr Emmanuel assured members of the Electoral Area that he would work tirelessly to lobby for development projects for the area and called for unity among the people, particularly the youth.
