The government has failed to meet its seven-day deadline to
establish a temporal connection for vehicles at the broken Doli bridge at Bole
in the Savannah region.
The minister of roads and highways announced on Tuesday,
September 19, that the government will, within seven days connect the road for
vehicles.
Though boulders and equipment have been transported to the
site, actual work is yet to begin seven days after the announcement.
As a result, commuters between the south of Ghana and the
Upper region and beyond continue to take an over 250 additional kilometre
journey through Sawla-Fufulso and Techiman to get to their destination.
The Doli bridge collapsed on Sunday, September 17, 2023,
after hours of heavy rains.
Meanwhile, the Savannah regional minister, Saeed Muhazu
Jibril has been visiting thousands of people displaced by flood waters in Buipe
the capital of the Central Gonja District of the Savannah Region.
The flood according to NADMO is a result of torrential rains
that caused the black volta to overflow its banks.
The flooding started on Sunday 17th September and has since
gotten worse.
Though NADMO has provided temporary accommodation for some
of the displaced at a school in Buipe, relief is yet to be
provided by the government.
