In a report filed by Starrnews, Agbodza said making the major roads in the country dual carriage ones will go a long way to reduce the many accidents leading to the loss of many lives on a daily basis.
“... I don’t think this gov’t is interested in dualizing our highways. They’re interested in doing things that will make them win the next election,” Agbodza said in an interview on the Morning Starr.
His comments come after three different accidents claimed the lives of 19 people on the Kasoa-Winneba road and in the Eastern region with some 15 people sustaining injuries.
