The electricity pole in the middle of the road from Premuase through Kajaji to Kojokrom, in the Sene West District of the  Brong Ahafo Region is a death trap to passengers of the road.

I wish the state, companies and individuals when given contracts to execute, will think of the life of the citizens in whatever they do.  On countless occasions, I have encountered events from road, building and electrification contractors that clearly show that no one cares about the danger people suffer from during and after the execution of projects.  It is even worse with those who give approval after inspection before handing over of projects to the state.

I recently plied the Atebubu-Kwame Danso to Kojo Krom road to use the Freedom and Justice Ferry to Kete Krachi. The assignment was in such a way that when needful,  one might not be able to avoid travelling in the night.

At almost 150 metres to a curve and in the middle of the road,  we saw a structure and had to slow down.  We only got closer to see it was actually an electric pole extending electricity across and in the middle of the road. For a first time traveller on the road, our vehicle could just have run into it and one can imagine what could happen when such high tension pole breaks.

ELECTRICITY POLE MIDDLERD

Is it worth exposing passengers and the public to such extreme danger? Can’t construction be done in a safe manner without exposing the citizenry to danger? Who is to watch that people are safe after they sign contracts to be executed?  We must stay alive to use the roads, buildings, electricity and all deliverable from constructions. Ghanaians deserve better than the negligence spread all around in the name of contracts.
