Angry Axim drivers demonstrate over bad road network



Economic activities in the Nzema East Municipality of the Western Region came to a temporal halt yesterday morning as commercial drivers demonstrated against bad roads in the municipality.
Commencing around 7:00 am local time, the demonstration caused many government workers and others in the private sector to find other alternate means of arriving at their various work places.
After long waits in very long queues at individual trotro stations and taxi ranks, most of the workers were forced to walk from the bus stations to their destinations with some openly supporting the action of the drivers.
Wearing red bands on their hands and heads, the agitated drivers who marched through some principal streets of Axim claimed they they’ve petitioned the regional minister, Paul Evans Aidoo about the deplorable roads in the municipality but nothing has come out of it.
They therefore hoped their demonstration would be enough to attract the government’s attention to how deplorable the roads are in the ancient town.
