The Member of Parliament’s initiative is aimed at improving the road network in that part of the district in order to facilitate the free movement of people to and from that constituency.
He recalled that during his campaign for the 2012 election, he visited Kayakor on foot, a distance of about 12 miles from Kabala town, saying that Kayakor has a population of about four thousand inhabitants who solely depended on subsistence farming.
Addressing his constituents during a snap visit to the constituency over the weekend, Hon. Kusan Sesay said as far as he can recall, there has never been any good road network in that constituency. However, as representative of his people in parliament, he has resolved to improve the roads in order to improve the lives of his people.
The MP disclosed that he had to hire bulldozers at commercial rate to embark on the construction of the 12 mile road linking villages in his constituency and Kabala, the district headquarter town.
He said when completed, the road will help farmers transport their agricultural products to the nearest market centres and also gain access to health centres.
Speaking at the meeting, P. C. Manasary111 commended the Member of Parliament for his good initiative and recalled that since the days when he was a child he has never seen what he called a street in that part of the chiefdom, saying he was extremely happy with the arrival of the bulldozers.
“The good work Hon. Sesay is doing for constituency 43 has touched my heart and those of my people,” he said, noting that many MPs have come and gone but none has ever done what Hon. Sesay has done.
He urged the community to cooperate with their parliamentarian in order to bring development to the constituency.
Speaker after speaker praised Hon. Kusan Sesay including youth leaders, councilors and community elders who called on the government to complement the effort of their MP.
