Residents around the Sofoline interchange have turned the project site into a toilet facility.
This was revealed by Otec FM news reporter Ebenezer Owusu who suffered the undignified stench when he went to do a report at the site.
He says the bushes have taken over the sofoline interchange; a situation that makes it easy for people to hide and ease themselves.
He reports that the unscrupulous folks who defecated around the area also terrorize residents by pelting them with stones whenever they pass by.
Even the reporter was not spared when he approached to investigate their dastardly act as they threw stones and took to their heels.
The interchange forms part of an 11km project stretching from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) to Abuakwa on the Kumasi-Sunyani road.
Work on the reconstruction of the Sunyani Corridor Roads has stalled for over three years due to government’s failure to honour debts totaling over $23 million.
The Sofoline Interchange project which started in 2007 is 10-years behind scheduled and is only 74 per cent complete.
Some of the workers reveal that they have lodged several complains to the authorities about the open defecation situation but nothing has been done about it.
They say the residents believe they have the right to defecate there because that was what they were doing there before the project took off.
It is feared that armed robbers and other criminals will take over the place as the bushes are allowed to grow further.
