Rep. Wongbe stressed that rehabilitating these vital routes was essential in unlocking economic potential and improving livelihoods.
Highlighting the district’s unique diversity, Rep. Wongbe offered a powerful message of unity.
“District Nine is home to many tribes and cultures, but our strength lies in our togetherness. By working hand in hand, we will overcome the infrastructure deficits that have held us back for too long.”
