Africa-Press – Liberia. For the first time in the history of Margibi County, the county’s district#4 stands to benefit a yellow machine purchased by its Representative Emmanuel O. Yah before taking his seat at the Capitol.
The machine according to Rep Yah, is worth about US$90,000 but because of his business connection and relationship with the vendor, he paid US$67,000 out of his personal earnings as a businessman.
According to him, the machine is going to be officially turned over to the district and used to pave roads in the area that are seriously confronted with bad road networks.
He notes that specifically, farm-to-market roads are not conducive in the district so his leadership thought it wise to secure a machine that will do the roads and give the people hope that he has come to work with them in bringing about developments.
Rep. Yah also says the machine is going to be beneficial to other districts in Margibi apart from his district.
He derails that the machine is a lovol model that he purchased from a well-known company in the country and that lots of people have always done business with the firm since it came to Liberia in 2018.
Rep Yah: “The purpose for which this machine was purchased was for the district. I remember during the campaign, we faced lots of difficulties in the rural areas of District 4 and there was a challenge that we went through in terms of road connectivity in the district that we had in mind, but we didn’t promise the people because we didn’t want to do it like a promise then in time to come we cannot fulfill the promise, then it is like the man has lied to us.”
The lawmaker says he decided to work on ensuring that the machine was purchased before he took office because the issue of road was a concern.
