Two major roads that lead to the Kwahu Mountains, according to the MCE, persons coming to the Kwahu Mountains must use the Nkawkaw Kuma – Atibie road and descend down from the mountains to Nkawkaw through the Nkawkaw Nsuta – Obomeng road. This, according to the MCE, is to prevent road accidents and ensure one way traffic.
The MCE admonished the people to bear in mind and adhere to the Covid-19 protocols although restrictions have been eased.
He added that, the Assembly has begun a Food Screening for the past three weeks, hence individuals willing to engage in food vending must obtain permit to trade during the festivities.
