A private legal practitioner has gone to court praying it to compel the Ledzokuku Krowor Municipal Assembly (LEKMA) to construct a section of a road leading to her house at the Teshie-Nungua Estates.
According to Mrs Margaret Acheampong, the road leading to her house was so bad that “I have to dance agbadza to and from my house.”
The lawyer contended that she is a tax payer who pays her property rate and so LEKMA should also perform its obligation by constructing roads.
At the court last Monday, Mrs Acheampong wanted to move the court to the site (Locus). However, the court, presided over by Justice A.K. Okwabi, noted that the counsel representing LEKMA in their defence, had admitted that the roads were bad and mentioned that funds were not readily available to make way for the rehabilitation.
Counsel for LEKMA said he had held talks with the assembly to find a way out.
Mrs Acheampong, who represented herself, told the court that when the Municipal Chief Executive chose to reside within the estates, he ensured that a road known as Cocoa Street, was reconstructed.
The high court has adjourned the matter to July 14 for parties in the matter to discuss issues with the view of settling
