Mr Edmund Asun, a farmer who frowned at the state of the road, in an exclusive interview with the GNA, urged the Oti Regional Minister to ensure that the road was fixed before the rainy season fully begins.
He said farming would be enhanced with quality road as farm produce would easily be conveyed to the markets for farmers to recoup their investments when their produce is sold out.
Rebecca Asantewaa, a trader could not hide her frustration, after recounting to the GNA the difficulties she encountered plying the road on a daily basis to conduct her business especially Borae and Chinderi markets.

Describing the effects of the situation on the day-to-day activities of residents in the enclave, the Paramount chief said pregnant women in labour were the worst affected.
Nana Kanya said, when you look at the nature of the road the pregnant women in labour would have to endure the nature of the road when accessing healthcare from Bejamesi, Grubi, Akaniam, Zongo Macheri and Chinderi to Borae to the Hospital at Kete-Krachi.
