Lower Manya Krobo MCE Undertakes Site Inspection of Kpong–Somanya Highway Project

Hon. John Atteh Matey, Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality, on Monday, June 1, 2026, joined the contractor responsible for the Kpong–Somanya Highway project on a site inspection to assess and address concerns raised by residents along the road corridor.
One of the major issues identified was at Kodjonya, where runoff water had flooded a resident’s business premises. Following a thorough assessment, it was agreed that an additional storm drain would be constructed in the area to improve drainage and prevent similar incidents in the future.
The MCE appealed to residents to maintain confidence in the Assembly’s leadership and to promptly report any challenges they observe to enable the appropriate interventions to be undertaken.
Several other concerns along the project route were also inspected and will be presented for discussion at the next project site meeting.
