The Ministry confirmed this morning that the budget for the Asikuma to Jasikan and Ho to Aflao corridors is officially approved for immediate rehabilitation. We have requested the project timeline and will monitor the procurement process to ensure these repairs begin as committed.

PETITION TO FIX VOLTA ROADS
For far too long, we the people of the Volta Region have suffered the dire consequences of bad roads. While PROMISES UPON PROMISES by those in authority to fix the roads have yielded nothing, THE HOPING UPON HOPING by we the people has become a hopeless hope.
It has become prudent to demand immediate action from government to #Fix Volta Roads Now
Major roads linking cities and towns in the Volta Region are left in the most dangerous of states with unimaginable and often life-taking effects on we the people i.e Health, Education, Economic, Tourism and other essential aspects of our lives!
Enough is enough. We cannot sit idle for our roads to keep killing us, destroying our businesses, reducing the life span of our vehicles, robbing us of our income from tourism and inflicting many serious health conditions on us.
This is why together as people of the Volta Region, we are demanding action by petitioning you and your assignees to as a matter of urgency #fix Volta roads now!.
Specifically, we are demanding that the following major roads that are part of most dangerous roads in Ghana as reported by Joy News’ Kojo Yankson during the British High Commissioner’s Ghana Grand tour few days ago, be fixed now!
1. Asikuma To Jasikan Road
2. Juapong to Ho Road
3. Ho to Aflao Road
Until these roads are fixed, we will continue to use every necessary and legal means of demanding action from you our leaders to save the lives of the several innocent citizens dying on our roads by fixing these roads now.
Why Now?
If not NOW, when? The roads have become worst with time. Morbidities and mortalities have increased over time. The scary records are there to prove. Also, as we draw nearer to the 2020 elections, we know the usual promise upon promise games which for over 20 years yielded nothing, will be revisited by you the politicians. We reject that in the most extreme of terms. We need our roads fixed now! No more talking and promising.
Your Excellency, fix our roads now. This is our petition and demand from you.
Long live the Volta Region
Long last our roads
Long live Ghana

Volta Region is pivotal to the economic development of Ghana given its borders with the Republic of Togo. The fixing of Volta roads is not only for saving precious lives but also enhancing the commercial activities of the region.
It's always a headache if I have to travel on these road either to visit my family or in the course of service delivery to the nearby subdistrict facilities. Our life's are at stake when on the road due to their deplorable nature. Mr President, kindly fix the roads
We are tired of using bad roads everyday. Our drivers are buying spare parts everyday, our market mother's are becoming weaker day in day out, mortality is on a rise. Our region is Volta region but not voters region. #Fixvoltaroadsnow
The Eastern Corridor roads need urgent attention. The roads has been given a blind eye by successive governments for the past decades. Pls help fix the roads cos we supply food, cocoa, timber and human resources frm the Volta Region of Ghana.
Our roads need serious attention and government swiftly act. The Easter Corridor road is in bad state, from Asikuma to Juapong road, deplorable and the Sokode to Ho road too has been abandoned. This on and off attitude by the powers that be are unacceptable. Fix the roads now
