ZIAH TOWN, Grand Gedeh – With the rainy season fast approaching, residents of Electoral District #2 are expressing growing anxiety over the “worsening” state of a major road corridor connecting Ziah Town to the rest of Grand Gedeh county.
Local citizens are calling on their Representative, Hon. Marie G. Johnson, along with private companies and humanitarian organizations, to launch an emergency rehabilitation project before the infrastructure becomes impassable.
Mounting Fears of Isolation
Community members fear that without immediate intervention, the entire district faces potential isolation. Poor road conditions during the rainy season typically lead to:
Skyrocketing transportation costs for essential goods;
Disrupted daily activities and restricted access to healthcare;
Safety hazards for motorists and pedestrians alike.
A Call for Urgent Action
Speaking from Konobo Boundary Town, a local resident, Mr. Willie Gaye Sr., highlighted the lack of progress on the route, noting that the situation is “getting worse day by day.”
”The road condition is deteriorating, and nothing is being done about it,” Gaye stated. He issued a direct appeal to Hon. Marie G. Johnson and the humanitarian community to provide the necessary equipment and resources to stabilize the road.
Residents are hopeful that local authorities and stakeholders will heed the call to prevent a total transport collapse in the district.
