THE only bridge linking the Tsoxor Traditional Area to other parts of the Kpando District has collapsed, denying the people a vital link through Botoku to Vakpo in the Kpando Municipality.
With the collapse of the bridge, there is no other road by which the people could travel out, since the town is a terminal community surrounded by the Volta Lake.
The Paramount Chief of Tsoxor Traditional Area, Togbe Akoto V, lamented the situation when he addressed a durbar to climax the 10th “Zendo Glimetsoza” of the people of Kpeve, Klikor, Klefe, Tsorxor and Tsibu Traditional areas at Tsorxor over the weekend.
“You are all witnesses of the bad nature of the road to Tsorxor as you travelled along it this morning. It has always been so, if not worse. Every year, we talk about it, but nothing seems to be done about it,” he lamented.
In an address, the Ketu-South District Chief Executive, Mr Frank Amable, entreated all workers of the Zendo Movement to pool resources to facilitate the advancement of their communities.
He lauded the intercommunity assistance concept of the festival, adding that it was a good sign for the restitution of extended family system.
Mr Amable urged them to release land for the youth in agriculture programme, and said it would be ideal for communities to release not less than 20 acres, saying that the Government will look out for markets for produce from such projects.
He reiterated the government’s commitment to pay a special package to teachers who accepted postings to rural areas, adding that the Government would also construct school buildings where pupils attended classes under trees.
He, however, pleaded with the people to exercise restraint with the Government to enable it to seal some loopholes before rewarding them.
