Depending on whom you are and your view of things, US$18,400 may be peanuts or a hefty all to spend in your district or county. And that's the all Montserrado County Representative Adolph Lawrence has spent to rehabilitate a 1.7 kilometer road, which connects Jamaica Road to several communities in Logan Town.
John Yubouty's MDMC did the rehabilitation work, which they say, will last until next year's rainy season. Gabriel G. McCauley is the Jamaica Road community chairman and he told our reporter that Lawrence's personal intervention is a blessing for residents and commuters.
"This road hasn't been properly used because of the bad condition. The road has been a major route [for commuters] but it has been inactive for the last three rainy seasons.

Sando Fahnbulleh, 57 is part the initial female town Chiefs for her Village,Karnga. She says her villagewhich is in Zodua Clan isproud to be one of three villages that had surrendered new land to Sime Darby for development into Oil Palm early this year.
Even though Sando's rubber farm was not qualified to get corps compensation because it falls within a 2 kilometer buffer zone that Sime Darby sets aside to each town as part ofSDPL's policy for land expansion and acquisition, she remains grateful that the nightmare of bad road is over. With good roads, Sando says she and other women will be able to transport food crops to markets nearby for additional gain. The rehabilitation of the additional than 40 kilometer road that stretches across Sinjeh to Gbesseh, for almost a week according to Sando is a mark of Fidelity by Sime Darby.
"I woke up one morning to the sound of the yellow machines on our road. At the same time as I saw the company fixing our roads it made me feel happy. It shows that we didn't make the wrong choice by letting SimeDaby in our area, and that we can trust the company."
