Government staff at the Ministry annex near Telecel office are being “fed with good doses of dust” daily from a recent graded road.

The bad nature of the road has become a daily burden for staff of the Ghana News Agency, Education Service, Geological Survey, Rent Control, Ghana Audit and other commuters and residents within the Windy Ridge enclave.

The benevolence of a priest had recently seen the road improved by grading it but the daily dust emanating from the process could contribute to respiratory conditions should the situation persist.

Some staff the GNA interacted with after many complaints to the Agency pleaded with authorities at EKMA and the Member of Parliament to as a matter of responsibility put bitumen or granite on the surface of the road or at least water it daily to reduce the dust.

Madam Patricia Nsiah, a seamstress on the stretch had had to block a section of the road to avoid drivers using that portion of the road as dust control measure.

Mr. George Kankam, one of the affected staff, urged the assembly to in the interim water the road daily to avoid the dust: “we come to the Office and all our tables and chairs are covered with dust, cars pass all the time and we have to struggle to breath”.

Mr Kojo Appiah Danquah, a newscaster at ROK FM, who ply the road daily was worried that the many calls for the assembly to help fix the road had fallen on deaf ears.

Windy Ridge , is an area in Takoradi designated for government workers as well as offices but has one of the terrible roads which had caused wear and tear to many private vehicles and increasing the cost of living for these workers in particular and others who daily sourced the services of the many departments around.
