Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Bong County Superintendent Madam Loleyah Hawa Norris has expressed serious disappointment over the deplorable state of the Gbarnga-Kokoyah road.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the induction ceremony of newly appointed local leaders by President Joseph N. Boakai in Botota, Kokoyah Statutory District, she lamented the irony of a district hosting mining companies while lacking a functional paved road network.<\/p>\n

Considering Kokoyah\u2019s history with companies like the American-Liberian Mining Company (Amlib) and MNG Gold, she noted that the District remains one of Liberia\u2019s poorest and most inaccessible areas.<\/p>\n

She attributed this condition to past failures in prioritizing community development and called for collective efforts to avoid repeating history.<\/p>\n

She recalled the arrival of Amlib over two decades ago, noting that despite the presence of other mining organizations since then, the district has little to show for it.<\/p>\n

The absence of paved roads, legacy projects, and tangible development, she stressed, continues to leave Kokoyah in a state of neglect.<\/p>\n

Superintendent Norris underscored the importance of unity among citizens and leaders to drive the district\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

She urged residents to prioritize community welfare over personal interests, asserting that meaningful change begins with collective effort.<\/p>\n

In her remarks, she stressed the need to set aside differences, insisting that development is about putting the district first, not about politics.<\/p>\n

She cautioned that failing to plan and take ownership of resources would inevitably lead to further setbacks.<\/p>\n

Addressing past dealings with mining companies, she criticized the lack of accountability and stressed that stronger community demands could have secured paved roads and improved infrastructure.<\/p>\n

She warned against repeating the mistakes of the past, particularly the tendency to prioritize individual gain over collective progress.<\/p>\n

The Superintendent is, meanwhile, calling on citizens to support the newly appointed leaders and actively engage with them on developmental issues.<\/p>\n

She urged the community to let go of grudges, maintain open communication, and contribute ideas that would propel the district forward.<\/p>\n
