A Ghanaian has hired tractors and provided other needed materials to construct a bad road at Amasaman in the Greater Accra Region.

The man who gave his name as Dr Parker said the road in the community is so bad that even public transport vehicles do not like to come to the area. There are motorcycles that ply the route which is not safe.

In a video, Dr Parker said that the struggle of residents to get a vehicle coupled with the bad roads in the area is heart-wrenching.

“All the stones and other things being used for the road construction is from my pocket. It is not because I have too much money but when I saw how the people were suffering I had to intervene. I want to plead with the government to just pay attention to our roads.”

Usually when people begin to help the community so much it is assumed they have political ambitions. But Dr Parker said he has no political ambitions.

“I have spent over GH¢60,000 on this project. I am not an MP or Assemblyman and I do not want to be an MP or Assemblyman. When it is election time, they come here to solicit votes”
