Kwahu Bepong; the birth place of Dr. JB Danquah, is lagging behind in infrastructure development.
Final supporters
It will interest you to know that Kwahu Bepong is among the old towns in Kwahu if not the oldest. The town occupies a land size of about 400km². The population of the town is about 12,000. The major occupation of its citizens is farming. Historically, the town is noted to be the only town that mounted a strong resistance against oppressors and criminals who tried to evade Kwahu years ago. The town has produced important personalities like Dr. JB Danquah,the doyen of Ghana's democracy, among others. The town used to host a major market center on market days at Kwahu. Sadly, the town has not seen any major development in terms of infrastructure for the past 50years. The only tarred road is the major road that links the town to Afram Plains. All the access roads in the town have been taken over by erosions making the whole town virtually unmotorable. The only bridge linking the town to one of its villages has been completed for the past four years and has since not been commissioned for use. The town has no proper healthcare facility. The only two unit block clinic in the area was constructed by the citizens 30 years ago and has since deteriorated beyond the status of a simple chips compound. Bepong has no market even though it used to host the major market center for all the villages and nearby towns in the area. It has no library and community center for its youths. The only road connecting One of its villages known as Ntomem where majority of it farming inputs such as cocoa, coffee, timber and crops like banana, plantain, cassava among others are produced, is in deplorable state to the extent that the road becomes inaccessible when it rains. Lastly, the government promised to build 1d1f in the area, unfortunately, the land that was earmark for the project has not seen a single block since the sod cutting was done three years ago. These and other issues are the very reason behind this petition. We are by this petition demanding from the authorities to fix our roads including town roads and Ntomem road, construction our drains just like they are doing in other nearby towns such as Asakraka,Tafo and Obomeng, and give us a befitting chips compound. We are again hoping to receive a rapid response from authorities on matters or issues raised in this petition, since several meetings with authorities have turned a deaf hear. Please sign and share

The stories shared by many of you regarding our town reveal a deep frustration with the current state of our infrastructure. I am currently compiling your testimonials to present to the local authorities as clear evidence of our collective necessity for change.
September 28, 2020
The growing momentum behind this call for infrastructure development reflects our collective commitment to the future of Bepong. We have reached a meaningful threshold that signals the necessity of addressing the historical neglect of our town. This progress serves as a clear indication that our requests for basic services demand immediate attention from the proper authorities.

Arise for change.. This is very threatening to the future of the indigenous youth
We cannot wait for yet another four years. I think this is the time the you must compel our leaders to work.
The Town need development
We need our share of the national cake
By far the greatest and most admirable form of wisdom is that needed to plan and beautify towns and human communities. Kwahu Bepong is among towns in Ghana. I am encouraging everybody out there to blog, Tweet, Facebook. Let's sign a petition for the development of Kwahu Bepong.
