Prince Gu-Barnes, an Assembly member for the Afeviwofe-Blengo electoral area, bemoaned their roads' bad state.
According to him, several calls from Assembly Members (present and past), Traditional Authorities, and Opinion Leaders in the District Assembly and Central Government (both in the NPP and NDC eras) to get the Peki town roads fixed and put in a motorable state. Unfortunately, these attempts have yielded no meaningful results over decades, hence the Demonstration.
He also added that Peki Citizens for decades have contributed their widow's mite and resources to find temporary solutions to these roads to make them motorable and also avert fatalities.
“We have tried to temporarily patch potholes with sacks of sand and dig shallow drains but they are soon washed away immediately it rains. The roads are now in very deplorable conditions and this becoming a death trap. We have gotten to the stage where we need a more sustainable and permanent solution to these roads.”
The group wishes to appeal to the DCE – South Dayi, Hon. Ernest Kwodjo Mallet, MP – South Dayi, Hon. Rockson Nelson Etse Dafeamekpor), Minister of Roads and Highways, Hon. Kwasi Amoako-Atta, and the Volta Regional Minister, Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa) as a matter of urgency to;

Reshape Peki town roads/link roads/access roads, especially from the main Afeviwofe junction to the government hospital in Tsame.
• Construct U-drains for all roads reshaped.
Hon Sebastian Okyere, the assembly member of the Tsame electoral area and a convener also stated that the Peki Government Hospital is the biggest referral hospital in the south Dayi district but the road leading to the hospital has rather worsened the conditions of people going to seek medical care.
Hon Prince Gu-Barnes leader of the group sounded a note of caution stating they are a peace-loving and non-partisan group fighting to save the lives of Peki Citizens and also wanting the best for South Dayi.
Please fix our roads now, otherwise, we will hit the streets in the coming weeks in peaceful protests until it is done.
