Complete Kumasi-Obuasi road
Dear Editor,
It has come to my attention that despite some progress, development across the country remains sluggish. One glaring example of this is the ongoing project on the Kumasi-Obuasi road.
Having traversed this route for some time now, I have witnessed firsthand the slow pace of work, which has left portions of the road incomplete even after three years.
As they say, “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” yet it is disheartening to see such a vital artery of transportation languish in an unfinished state.
While I applaud the government for the segments of the road that have been successfully constructed, there still remains much to be done.
We want to see contractors expedite action to complete the remaining sections of the Kumasi-Obuasi road.
After all, as the saying goes, “A stitch in time saves nine.”
Addressing these outstanding issues will not only enhance connectivity between these two important cities but also ensure the safety and convenience of commuters.
In the light of this, I urge the government to prioritise the completion of the remaining portions of the Kumasi-Obuasi road.
As the saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words,” and it is imperative that tangible steps were taken to fulfill the promises made to the citizens.

Don’t prophesy to cause fear and panic
Dear Editor,
Curtains on the year 2024, is gradually drawing to close, with many, achieving their dreams while others hope for a better 2025.
Amidst this, churches have planned their watch night services with various themes for the night hoping to give Christians and Ghanaians at large a chance to enter the New Year with optimism.
At the service, there will prophecies or predictions for the coming year, with some causing fear and panic among the populace.
In the year 2021, the Ghana Police Service banned prophecies during 31st night services, also known as watch night services.
Such prophecies, according to the police has caused fear and panic among targeted persons
It seems churches and their leaders have forgotten about this ban, I wish to call in the police to remind the churches to enforce the ban which were mostly about the death of prominent persons in the society.
I believe this will again bring sanity into the Christianity and the society at whole

Provide adequate security for Christmas
Christmas is four days away and Ghanaians are preparing feverishly for the grand occasion.
It is a momentous occasion on the calendar of Christians. It marks the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
After the various church services to mark it, the whole atmosphere turns into one for merrymaking while people also share gifts to friends and family members.
Interestingly, the same period witnesses a surge in criminal activities as cases of armed robbery, phone snatching and other negative vices happen.
That is the reason why I want to appeal to the security agencies to be watchful within the period.
The Police, especially is already stretched as a result of the recent elections held and preparation for the January 7 swearing in ceremony to follow but that should not leave criminals with a field day.
Just as the service intensify patrols within the period, I wish to appeal for a repetition of the exercise to curb crime in the society.
Residents can also help in this regard by providing information on the activities of strange characters in our various vicinities.
With these in place, one can be sure that the celebration would be peaceful and enjoyable, devoid of troubles
