Residents of the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality of the Western Region have given the government a two-week ultimatum to start work on their roads or brace itself for another demonstration.
The group issued the threat after staging a 15-hour long protest that saw the blocking of the link road from Takoradi to the Tarkwa Township. The protest disrupted traffic causing gridlock on the over 10-kilometre main road.
They maintain that they will not relent in their efforts to get their rightful share of the national cake.
The residents are also of the view that more of the mineral revenue from that area should be channeled into the provision of infrastructure.
