Aggrieved residents of Dawhenya in the Ningo-Prampram District of the Greater Accra Region, who demonstrated over deplorable roads in the area recently, have rejected plans by the Member of Parliament (MP), Samuel Nartey George, to partake in the next protest against government.
Last Friday, scores of residents in Dawhenya in the Greater Accra Region took to the streets to protest against deplorable road from Dawhenya to Afienya, among others.
They burnt lorry tyres and blocked the road with wood and metal containers to register their displeasure.
The angry residents bemoaned the neglect and unfulfilled promises by successive governments.
After the protest, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo Prampram, expressed his readiness to partake in the next protest after the expiration of the 14-day ultimatum given to government to fix the deplorable roads.
Speaking to Citi Fm on Friday, Mr. George disclosed that “in two weeks’ time, I will join the members of my constituency, because Parliament is on recess and I have exhausted all my parliamentary options.
“That road has transcended the government from the NDC to the NPP. That road has been in a state of disrepair for over 20 years.”
However, the organiser of the demonstration, John Charway told DAILY GUIDE via telephone that “we don’t need our MP to join us when the 14 days expires and we don’t see that contractor has resumed work on the road. This is because we don’t want to politicise the demonstration because if today the MP is joining us to do the demonstration then tomorrow the DCE would also decide to join us and we will politicise our protest.
“We only want to send a message to the government to ensure that the road is fixed and no politics attached. There are other pressing issues that the MP can channel his energy into than joining us.”

Why are you crying now??? only one solution just vote for NPP next year and your roads will be done. Go and see Kumasi Bantama road ongoing Asphart PAPABI. If I were gov. I will focus on where I got my votes not NDC areas.
Onukpa Charway You are wise. May all your descendants be wise like you
Eii Sam George opportunist. U want to join who? Ur government was there since 1992 and beyond do u want Nana Ado to repair ur road and leave mine in the central region? U mad? we voted for NPP wait till Mohamma or whever will be lucky in 16-20yrs time to fix it. E.T Mensah couldnt do it?
WISE MAN CHARWAY
SAM GEORGE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF.WHY DIDN'T YOU DEMONSTRATE WHEN NDC WAS IN POWER? ITS UNFAIR TO UNDULY PRESSURIZED THE GOVERNMENT WHEN THE ROAD WAS IN BAD STATE BEFORE GOVERNMENT ASSUMED POWER. EXERCISE PATIENCE FOR YOUR ROAD WOULD DEFINITELY BE FIXED.
Kwasiafo) you fuuls there have being voting for NDC all your life and they couldn’t do your road for you cos they knew only fuuls vote for them now you demonstrating you want NPP to fix your road for you? If Nana Addo do your road sef give you I suwear I no go vote give NPP again...
If you don't want politicize it then why didn't you demonstrate during ndc time because they were there for 8 years and they could have solved all your grievances so why do you expect somebody's mother to feed you well and take good care of you when your own mother couldn't take that responsibility? I find this weird! how can somebody's mother take good care of you more than your mother? ridiculous! You people were there when ndc used you and do you expect this government to leave everything and give you priority and if you demonstrate and nothing happens what next? I mean what us this? you can demonstrate but you can't force the government to do your wish.Obuasi where we get Ghana's gold have the most worst roads but they don't talk,they were able to go through your ndc nons*ense ndc brought Aisha and so many Chinese to destroy their water bodies and roads but they contained your ndc and you are demonstrating burning tyres and wood because ndc your darling boy didn't do it so it is a must for the NPP to take your roads as priority with this your mp? was he not Mahama boy at the presidency and what happened? you collected money and freebies to vote for him instead of demanding for good roads! Other parts of Ghana are also equally necessary to get priority for good roads so imagine every part of Ghana is also behaving like you what will happen not chaos? demonstration doesn't solve problems especially when it comes from opposition side ,it turns it is politics as usual ! whether Sam George joins you or not that seat is ndc and is politics as usual so less attention!
