Kumawood actor Agya Koo has sparked controversy after urging authorities to fix the Akyem Adubease Road, with critics questioning the timing of his appeal and his political affiliations.
In a viral video shared on April 1, 2025, Agya Koo, whose real name is Kofi Adu, called on the government to use the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) to address safety concerns on the road. He pointed out that while the road itself is in relatively good shape, overgrown vegetation and sand deposits along its edges have significantly reduced its width, posing risks to motorists.

Social media users expressed skepticism about his motives:
-
Nungua Burnaboy remarked, “When his party was in power, we didn’t see any video from him, but now he’s suddenly an activist… Well, the road does need fixing, so hopefully, his influence will push the right people to act.”
-
Agama Lizard commented, “This is the same guy who was campaigning for money a few months ago. Now, all of a sudden, he’s a patriotic citizen? Did the road issues just start in 2025?”
-
Leo CULU Moh INT Miami questioned, “Where was he all these years?”
-
R R added, “Now they’ve found their voices. No more payments from their political sponsors.”
The mixed reactions highlight the ongoing debate about political bias in activism and whether public figures speak up based on genuine concerns or political interests.
