Unrelenting Kwainoe Clears Overgrown Road Shoulders

Otabanadze Road

In an effort to improve safety and accessibility on the Essarkyir-Otabanadze stretch of road, Hon. Dr. Othniel Ekow Kwainoe has generously taken the initiative to clear overgrown vegetation and grade the road shoulders. This timely intervention is targeted at making the roads safer and more navigable for users and local communities.

The move has been received warmly by residents especially as it coincides with preparations for their Annual Akwambo festival which this year takes place from Sunday, 1st to Sunday, 8th September, 2024 with Essakyir whereas, Ekrawfo, Attakwaa and Otabanadze begins on Tuesday, 3rd to Sunday, 8th September, 2024. The festival, which means “path clearing,” is a significant event for many Fantes, a sect of the Akan tribe in Ghana.

Dr. Kwainoe, the NDC Parliamentary Candidate for the Ekumfi Constituency, is seeking the mandate of his constituents in the upcoming December 7, 2024 General Elections.

Residents expressed their appreciation for Dr. Kwainoe’s gesture, urging him to continue and requested him to address other pressing issues such as sanitation challenges.

Communities that benefitted from this exercise include, Essarkyir (his home community), Ekrawfo, Attakwaa and Otabanadze.
