Tonnes of cocoa remain locked up in remote farming communities in the Wassa Amenfi West District, where farmlands are cut off from the rest of the country.Torrential rains have rendered the major roads impassable, creating a lot of anxiety among farmers whose crops are already going bad.Joy News' Kwaku Owusu Peprah reports that the only access road to farmlands is a 30km narrow stretch of road which has been reduced to an impassable slurry.He said vehicles had been stuck in the mud for days and for some even weeks.Bearing the brunt of the poor roads are not only farmers but also school children and teachers who have to wade through the mud to school.Some pupils and drivers who cart cocoa from the area narrated the frustrations they go through daily.They are not the only ones. The Member of Parliament for Evalue-Gwira, Katerin Afeku, emphasized the need for the Minister of Roads, Mr Joe Gidisu to be hauled to the area to experience the frustrations the people there go through.“This is not a road, this is a valley,” she asserted.Source: Joy News/Ghana
