He said that similar projects would be taken to other parts of the country in line with RMFA’s mandate of providing funds for the maintenance of feeder roads across the country.
He made this call during the official launching and turning of SOD to construct and rehabilitate two bridge sites at Combema community in Nongowa Chiefdom, Kenema district. He added that the turnout of the community people to grace the occasion symbolises that they all appreciate the efforts of Hon. Sahr Mathew Nyuma.
The Leader of Government Business, Hon. Sahr Mathew Nyuma, alias Crocodile, told beneficiaries of the project that, as a Member of Parliament, he would continue to solicit and support development in his district. He called on them all to own the bridge and similar projects in the district. Adding projects coming into the community is for the people, and the people must own it irrespective of tribe, religion, political party, or other factors, but as citizens of the nation.
