The agenda to organize a peaceful demonstration which is our constitutional right and a statutory means to drum home our demand which is the deplorable state of our road network from Dunkwa on Offin to Buabin.
Plans, consultation are progressing steadily for the demonstration to take effect in Buabin at the Upper Denkyira East Municipal.
The contribution of Buabin to the food basket of this country cannot be underestimated, we produce most of the plam fruits in Ghana. We can be ranked third in the whole country behind Twifo and Benso.
We have hectors of cocoa farms that contribute immensely to our GDP.
The most economic engagement of the people of Buabin is farming and most of our food produce gets rotten as a result of bad roads network to the market for sale .
People especially expectant mothers, people with serious ailments who has to be taken to the municipal hospitals on referral die on their way for delivery and treatment respectively. In view of this our road is a major priority as far as relieving us from a lot of discomforts are concerned.
Numerous promises by political leaders have yielded no results. So we the youth of the town believe that its about time we demonstrated to let them know that indeed we are very serious about this.
