Liberia’s acting Public Works Minister, Ruth Coker-Collins says the government of President George M. Weah remains committed to roads connectivity in Liberia, despite the prevailing economic situation affecting every sector of the country.
Minister Collins stated that no project once commenced by the Weah led government will be abandoned.
She was speaking to Journalists over the weekend (Saturday January 30, 2021) in Waterside, Bong County, when she led a team of Public Works officials to visit the Gbarnga-Salayea project site. Works are ongoing at various locations including the campsites where materials and equipment are stationed.
The acting Public Works Minister, accompanied by officials of the Infrastructure Implementation Unit (IIU), inspected ongoing works at the CHICO query and other corridors along the 81km stretch of road.
The Public Works acting Minister said that the movement of equipment from one campsite to another along the same project area had been misconstrued by some residents of both counties.
According to her, the construction of roads under the able leadership of President George Manneh Weah remains a top priority.
