Dunkwahene wants contractors sanctioned for shoddy work 

Okofrobour Obeng Nuako III, the chief of Dunkwa-On-Offin has advised the government to prioritise road networks across the country. This, he said, would improve upon the socio-economic development of the nation.

The Dunkwahene observed that in spite the abundance of resources the nation’s road network is “very bad”, hence the need for the government to prioritise the reconstruction of the road network, which is currently in a deplorable state.

He emphasised the need for the government to sanction Contractors who do shoddy work on road contracts awarded them, citing the Dunkwa-Obuasi road, which the chief claimed has deteriorated in no time.

Giving the admonition during the observation of Akwasidae last Sunday, the chief noted that Ghana was endowed with abundant resources for the construction industry.

He said once the roads are fixed, road crashes would be brought to the barest minimum if not eliminated to preserve precious lives.

The Dunkwa chief has, therefore, urged contractors to be patriotic enough to complement efforts by the government to improve the infrastructural facilities by bringing their expertise on board in its developmental agenda and help make Ghana a better place for the citizenry.

Nana Obeng Nuako III also urged the government to see to the completion of all projects initiated by the previous administration to avoid waste of state resources.

Meanwhile, Nana Obeng Nuako, on behalf of the Dunkwa Sub-Traditional Council, expressed his dismay over the spate of disasters citing the recent tragic military helicopter crash, which claimed eight lives at Adansi Sikaman, near Akrofuom, road accident on Kumasi-Accra road (claiming 15 lives), and at Bechem in which two lives were lost, as well as several others across the country in a brief spell of time.

The Dunkwahene, called for intercessory prayers for the country by churches and religious bodies to prevent reoccurrence of the tragedies.

As part of the Akwasidae festivity, Nananom observed a minute’s silence for the departed souls in the August 6, 2025 air crash.
