IPNews-Monrovia: A popular Liberian revolutionary folk music protruding the tenacity of President George Manneh Weah to develop roads across the country, tilted: ” Bad Road Medicine”.

This music might have been listened to for a while, yet many thinks this music is just ordinary. Yet, the music plays a significant aspect to the believe Liberians across the country are confident in the ability of President George Weah to deliver on promises made during and after his elections of Liberia.

However, a major road linking Barnesville, Monut Barclay, Kleba and Caldweld Communities partially constructed by former President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf commonly known as the Dixville raod has for sometime now been very inaccessible to ply.

There are reports of daily motor accident since the rainy season due to the deployable condition of the road yet nothing is done to remedy the condition leaving the remaining portion of the Barnesville – Dixville road totally inaccessible.

The road also connectd two major densely populated township in Montserrado County, as several commuters had preferred the route since it easily takes one to Caldwell, Duala and other parts of the Bushrod Island.

The initial commencement of the Barnesville~Dixville Road Project by the former regime, was seen and greeted as a welcoming relief for residents of those communities where the stretch of road lies. It now appears that the once adorable prospect of a much needed route has been hit with uncertainty given the deliberate refusal of the George Weah Government to complete the last portion of the project.

This, amongst others, has posed a serious constraint to the free moments of commuters as well as residents of the Dixville Community even as they call the attention of President George M. Weah, alias “Bad Road Medicine.”

Residents speaking to reporters over the weekend in the Dixville Community expressed frustration of the deplorable condition of the road, stressing that it is almost Impossible to commute via the once cherished project.

The residents, in separate conversation with a local news outlet (MMaxonlinetv), called on the Liberian leader, and Public Works Minister, Mobutu Nyenpan, to immediately intervene in addressing the situation of their road.

Mrs. Lucia Hajah Konneh Sesay, a mother of four who lives in Dixville, stated that the condition of the road now poses a serious constraint to school going children who she claimed are finding it very difficult to commute during school days especially during the raining season.

Madam Sesay reminds the Government of how the road has become horrible, stressing that they are in dire need of the government’s help.

“We are citizens and parents, it is not good to live in a place without a good road just in case of an emergency situation,” the resident added.

It may be recalled, President George Weah, in October 2018, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to completing the road, emphasizing that roads connectivity as a number one priority.

President George Weah further informed a gathering at the University of Liberia that unlike road connectivity, health and others essential needs are not a major concern of his government. He maintained that in the absence of good road, health and agriculture will not be accessible.

“My vision is to make sure that we connect this country to the rest of our sub-region; that means road because without the roads, it is not possible to access hospital,” President Weah said.

In addition, the Liberian leader has referred to himself as “Bad Road Medicine,” indicating that his Government was prepared and serious about reconditioning and addressing the deplorable road conditions in Liberia.

With that pledge, the Dixville’s road is still unattended to even though it was a regular route of Public Works Minister, Mobutu Nyenpan, prior to his ascendency.

Another resident of Dixville, Mr. Joseph Lavelah, explaned that as a result of the bad road, they don’t receive electricity like they should. He indicated that the road condition also poses unbearable economic constraints to residents especially as they have to pass the long route to travel to and fro town.

“This morning, cars broke down right before us, trucks turned over in the mud, and we are here stranded because all the cars have decided against using this side. Do you know the burden it brings on us in this Pro-poor time,” Mr. Lavelah narrated.

Ajuah Nagbe, another mother who resides in the Dixville Community but works in the Freeport community, reiterated the difficulties she and others experienced daily while commuting from that part of Montserrado County.

She claimed that transportation fare from Dixville have skyrocketed as a result of the horrible road condition.

Ms. Nagbe also claimed that unlike the CDC’s Government, the former regime partially reconditioned the Dixville road ahead of the raining season.

According to her, it most times helped in making the road accessible, and puts it in a more convenient shape during the raining period.
