Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. Residents of Kagboro Chiefdom in Moyamba District are urging the Sierra Leone government to urgently improve the deplorable road network linking their communities, stressing that it is crippling livelihoods and undermining the area’s economic potential.
The chiefdom, renowned for its rich fishing grounds and scenic beaches, is struggling as poor road conditions make it difficult for fishermen to transport their catches to markets.
Community members say the challenge has led to wasted harvests, reduced income, and a growing scarcity of fish in local markets.
“We are calling on the government to recognize our plight and invest in our roads,” a fisherman appealed, noting that efficient transportation would transform both fishing and trade in the area.
Local leaders also believe that improved roads would open doors for tourism, allowing Kagboro to harness its natural beauty for wider economic growth.
Residents remain hopeful that the government will act swiftly to address their concerns, ensuring better opportunities for the fishing industry and long-term development in the chiefdom.
