He has appealed to the government to urgently intervene and fix the deplorable road network, which he described as a major obstacle to investment and job creation in the area. 

Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency at Manso-Nkwanta, Mr. Baffour Gyau noted that, although many residents in Amansie West had the energy, passion, and genuine interest to establish businesses, the terrible state of the roads was discouraging potential investors and frightened many local entrepreneurs from expanding their operations. 

According to him, the situation had left the district lagging in terms of business development, despite its huge economic potential. 

He lamented that the poor roads had led to widespread exploitation by some commercial drivers who charged unapproved fares due to the difficulties they encountered when transporting goods and passengers. 

He explained that the bad road conditions not only increased the cost of transportation but also reduced productivity and profitability for business owners. 

Mr Baffour Gyau appealed to the District Chief Executive, Mr Prince Manu Morris, and the Member of Parliament for the area, Mr Tweneboah Kodua Fokuo, to intensify their efforts in lobbying for the rehabilitation of the road network. 

According to him, fixing the roads would open up the district, boost investment, enhance mobility, and significantly promote economic activities. 

Beyond the issue of bad roads, he also revealed that the district was faced with a serious challenge of worker turnover, which was affecting business operations. 

He disclosed that some employers pay as much as GH¢3,000 to GH¢4,000 monthly, yet workers abandon their jobs after a short period, claiming the salary was inadequate. 

This trend, he said, had created instability for businesses striving to survive in the already difficult economic environment. 

Mr Baffour Gyau, therefore, urged the government, local authorities, and stakeholders to prioritise road construction and create a conducive environment that would help retain skilled labour and attract more investors into the district. 

He emphasised that improving the road network and addressing labour challenges would not only transform business operations but also enhance livelihoods and promote long-term development in Amansie West.
