Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. Residents along the Magburaka-Mile 91 road are voicing their frustration and disappointment with the current state of the road, accusing the SLPP government of neglect.
The road, a vital link between several key towns in the Tonkolili District, has deteriorated significantly, causing difficulties for commuters, traders, and farmers.
The situation is particularly galling for residents, given President Julius Maada Bio’s promise in 2018 to construct the road upon assuming office. President Bio had criticized his predecessor, Ernest Bai Koroma, for neglecting the road, assuring residents that his government would prioritize its development. However, years later, the road remains in a state of disrepair, leaving residents feeling frustrated and let down.
Critics argue that the government’s lack of attention to the road’s maintenance has resulted in increased travel times, vehicle damage, and economic hardship for local businesses. Many are now calling on the government to fulfill its promise and prioritize the rehabilitation and maintenance of the Magburaka-Mile 91 road to improve the lives of residents and boost economic activity in the area.
The situation raises questions about the government’s commitment to infrastructure development and its ability to follow through on its promises. As the situation continues to unfold, residents are eagerly awaiting tangible action from the government to address the pressing needs of the affected communities.
