Elikplim Akurugu expressed frustration over the worsening condition, stressing that the situation had become so severe it could no longer be described as a pothole.
According to the Dome Kwabenya MP, the poor state of the road poses a serious danger to pregnant women, patients, health workers, and emergency services.
"We beg you, it can be anybody. It can be an emergency; it can be my sister here. Please, we beg you in the name of God," the MP pleaded.
“It’s no longer a pothole but a manhole. When there is an emergency, before some patients get to the hospital, they are almost dead. The road is just deplorable. Please come to our aid," she further stated.
