LAWMAKER SAYS BAD ROAD IS CAUSING MAJOR ACCIDENT IN LIBERIA
The country was in mourning after a road accident took the lives of three individuals. This latest incident has highlighted once again how bad the road network is currently functioning.
According to Grand Kru County District #2 Representative Cllr. J Fonati Koffa, such bad roads from Grand Kru to Grand Bassa are one of the causes of the tragic motor accidents which have been claiming lives, including Sunday’s tragedy, in which at least three persons lost their lives.
Quoting Koffa, “I take that road all the time and trust me, by that time you hit the Buchanan pavement, you are so exhausted because your body has been shaking between 12 to 14 hours, and you are so tired. So, the road condition is number one.”
He said that “We have been trying our best to make sure we get this US$500 million loan to improve the Southeast road, we are a small underdeveloped country, our budget is about US$500m, and no lawmaker will vote to send the entire US$500m to the Southeast to build roads, so we have been trying our best, although little bit unsuccessful.”
