I have supported highway authority financially to fix roads in my constituency - A Plus
Kwame Asare Obeng, known as A Plus, has rejected claims that he has neglected poor roads in his constituency in favor of entertainment activities. He explained that he has contributed financially to assist the highways authority. He said, "There are some monies that the highway authority will need. I know that if we wait for government it will take forever. And so I have supported them to be able to do this. It's a huge sum but I want to get the roads done. So I had to support government. Any time they get the money, they pay back."
His comments follow criticism during the Gomoa Easter Carnival, held from 2nd to 5th April 2026 at Gomoa Ekwamkrom, where some residents accused him of spending on festivities instead of addressing deteriorating roads. According to A Plus, the event boosted the local economy. He said the initiative is also aimed at drawing attention to the Gomoa Central Constituency and the Central Region to attract investment.
Among the initiatives he is pursuing is securing a free zone development licence to attract investors into the area. He has pledged to build a waterfall by next year, a project he believes will create jobs and contribute to Ghana's tourism offerings. The four-day Gomoa Easter Carnival formed part of a broader slate of Easter activities designed to open up the Central Region to increased tourism traffic during the holiday period. The carnival was organised in partnership with Multimedia Group Limited under a three-year media agreement. It was sponsored by HotWav phones and positioned to give visibility to local businesses, artistes and vendors.
