Asare development across Hachuwaka

Now seeing that Asare development has accelerated across the country, many questions have arisen in the mind. On the one hand, during the monsoon, construction works are being carried out in a frenzy amid muddy roads and potholes filled with water, while on the other hand, the pressure of government provisions to meet the capital expenditure at the end of the financial year is evident.

Now seeing that Asare development has accelerated across the country, many questions have arisen in the mind. On the one hand, during the monsoon, construction works are being carried out in a frenzy amid muddy roads and potholes filled with water, while on the other hand, the pressure of government provisions to meet the capital expenditure at the end of the financial year is evident. Serious doubts have arisen as to how reliable, strong and durable the construction will be in such haste.
During the rainy season, there is a high possibility of substandard work when paving roads, building bridges or constructing other physical structures. Works done on water-soaked clay and mud begin to lose their quality when the rains cease. As a result, roads collapse, bridges are damaged or other structures are weakened within a few months of construction. On the one hand, this leads to misuse of state funds and on the other hand, people have to suffer more instead of convenience. According to the government rules, due to the obligation to complete the major part of the capital expenditure by the end of June, the haste to spend is given priority over the quality of the plan. Contractors are also under pressure to work in a hurry, making them more likely to compromise on quality. Is the goal of our development only to "finish"? Why is long-term development and sustainability neglected? The government urgently needs to correct this trend. A policy of evenly distributing capital expenditure throughout the year and prioritizing quality should be adopted. Otherwise, such slow development will not contribute to the progress of the country, but only to the frustration of the people and the ruin of the state. Let's immediately stop the development that is happening in the name of development.
