Africa-Press – Liberia. In anticipation of the upcoming by-election in Electoral District Number Five, the supporters of Bories B. Barlea have initiated the opening of several farm-to-market roads intended to revitalize Buutuo City, which has been neglected since the civil war in the 1990s.
Representative hopeful Barlea stated that the completed projects will significantly enhance agricultural activities and improve connectivity between various towns and villages in the district. He assured citizens that three additional machines will be added to continue road work throughout the district for over a month, addressing the road network’s challenges.
As an educator and trained agriculturalist, Barlea highlighted that the district suffers from inadequate road connectivity, which hampers the free movement of citizens and prevents agricultural products from reaching market destinations. This lack of access also contributes to increased mortality rates, especially among individuals seeking medical treatment, including pregnant women.
Barlea aims to create avenues for investment in the district and encourage development activities. He disclosed plans to lay out Buutuo City and undertake major improvements at the Buutuo border, positioning it as a modern entry point into the country. He emphasized that the urban layout will facilitate development activities and enhance living conditions, fostering a sense of belonging among citizens in the country’s progress.
His primary goal for District Number Five is to improve living conditions through better road networks, create job opportunities, and attract investments.
Residents of Buu-Yao in District Number Five have expressed their joy at the sight of earth-moving equipment being deployed to open various farm-to-market roads. The district has been under the control of former Representative Samuel Kogar, who served for over 14 years, yet it continues to lack essential infrastructure.
Reports indicate that three machines have been deployed to different locations to open various farm-to-market roads, reflecting the commitment of Bories B. Barlea and his supporters to alleviate the district’s difficulties. Residents have described the arrival of this equipment as a welcome relief, citing the impact and increase in development activities in the Over fifty’s Towns and villages in the district to be connected to roads network in the district. The aspirant Barlea pledge to connect various Towns and villages in the district and help to Open the Buutuo border with the equipment.
Chief Elder Alfred Lartoe Expresses Gratitude for New Machines Benefiting Buutuo City.
Buutuo Chief Elder Alfred Lartoe expressed deep gratitude for the arrival of new machinery, which he described as a significant relief for citizens enduring the hardships of ongoing development activities.
During a recent statement, he disclosed that since the civil war, Buutuo City, which was greatly affected, has yet to benefit from the road network being developed by aspirant Barlea.
“You have shown love and care for us. We appreciate your efforts and pledge to support your dreams. We are thrilled about this initiative intended to alleviate our suffering. You are the only one who has reached out to us and listened to our ongoing struggles with a lack of development activities,” he said.
Lartoe explained that the poor state of the road network has exacerbated suffering in the community, contributing to a rise in incidents that have led to higher death rates in the district compared to others in the county.
Buutuo youth representative Patrickson Bumie also expressed gratitude for the initiative, calling it a significant step forward for the people of Buutuo.
Bumie told reporters that the construction of various farm-to-market roads in the district will enhance agricultural activities, improve living conditions, and ultimately uplift the lives of the citizens.
He pledged the involvement and support of young people toward the ongoing road project in their district, emphasizing its importance for the community’s future.
