Breaking News: GAMBIAN GOVERNMENT PILLORIED AS BRIKAMA RESIDENTS COMPLAIN POOR ROAD NETWORK

By Wise Man, Our Chief Western Region Correspondent

Residents of Brikama in Kombo Central, Western Region have bitterly complained about the poor state of road networks  in the area, accusing the 13-year-old Jammeh administration of  being  indifference and insensitive to their plight.

Some of the  concerned residents   who spoke to Freedom Newspaper  accused the APRC government of  'reneging on their promise to improve    the 'road  infrastructure ' in Kombo Central .
 

According to Kebba Bojang,  a resident of Brikama,  during the  2006 presidential campaign,  President Yahya Jammeh  promised them that  his government will   construct   feeder roads    linking  Brikama market to Dasilamah and Marakissa immediately after the election  .  However he posited that government has failed to fulfill  their promise to the people of Brikama . " It is unfortunate that   Jammeh is not alive  to our  plight but he should know that  now we will  not settle  for anything than to get  our fair share of the nation cake,"  he said. 

 Mr Bojang asserted that  is about time the people of Brikama petition  the relevant authorities particularly the SOS for Works and Infrastructural Development so that some thing can be done in their favour as the situation at present leaves much to be desired.
  

 "It is nearly two years now  and nothing is done about the poor state of the roads in Brikama . And look, rainy season will  soon comes and   we will start facing difficulties because of the appalling and deplorable nature of our roads.
 ." he  said.

Also speaking to this reporter, Amie Sanneh of  Maduyareh village pointed out that "this government did not have the  interest  of people of Kombo Central  at heart  . Whenever they need our precious votes  they will come here to make wild and empty promises.  But government should know that we have discovered their tactics and comes next election they will pay  the price."
