The Adamorobe Traditional Council has announced plans to petition the Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, over the deteriorating condition of roads connecting the community to Aburi and Oyibi.
The council said the decision follows growing frustration among residents and intelligence suggesting rising unrest among the youth over the poor state of the roads, which they say continues to affect transportation, economic activity and overall development.
In May 2026, young people in Adamorobe staged a demonstration and presented a petition to the Akuapem South Municipal Assembly, calling on the government to urgently rehabilitate the roads.
Residents, however, say no significant action has been taken since then.
Community members told Accra-based Adom FM that the poor road network has discouraged investment in the area, leading to limited business opportunities, rising unemployment and slower economic growth.
Speaking publicly for the first time since his enstoolment on June 24, the chief of Adamorobe, Osaahene Okakabeng Okodom Kwakwasi III, described the condition of the roads as unacceptable, saying it is hampering development and affecting livelihoods.
He disclosed that he intends to engage his legal team before formally petitioning the Roads and Highways Minister to push for urgent government intervention.
“I am going to contact my lawyers and then write a petition to the Minister for Highways on the state of the road because it is affecting activities in the town,” he said.
Meanwhile, some residents have threatened to boycott the 2028 general elections if the roads are not reconstructed.
They also warned that they could prevent the Electoral Commission of Ghana from transporting election materials into the community and block political rallies and campaign activities unless their concerns are addressed.
