President John Mahama has indicated that had it not been his tenure in office residents of Kyebi in the Eastern region would have no recent infrastructure to boast of.

President Mahama was addressing a campaign rally in Kyebi. He mentioned that former Presidents had forgotten about the town until he came to power.

Mentioning some of the projects his government had undertaken in the area he said the bad roads in the town have been fixed as he promised.

“I attended a funeral at the Palace sometime back and I noticed the roads are bad. In fact, ever since the main Accra-Kumasi Highway was diverted out of Kyebi, governments have forgotten about this important town.”
