-Pres. Weah tells the people of Grand Kru
By Jerromie S. Walters
Consistent with his campaign tour, President George Weah late Thursday, October 5, 2023, visited Grand Kru County- and at said occasion, he dispelled stories about what pundits have characterized as his failure or inability to take pave road to the county, which’s also his county of origin.
At the campaign rally, President Weah disclosed his willingness to ensure that the county is connected with pave roads but attributed the delay over the last five years to different factors, including the wet season.
“I say to you that I will build our roads in Liberia and I’m committed to that. If Grand Kru will get pave road, it will be Manneh Weah. How can I build roads in the Republic of Liberia and forget about Grand Kru?” He questioned.
He adds, “In 12 years you didn’t do it, in 5 years I’m building the roads toward Grand Kru, so you should be applauding me. They left more than one thousand things undone, and that’s what I’m trying to fix. Broken economy, I fix it, we need more hospitals, I built more hospitals, free schools, I have done it and I can guarantee you.”
In his opinion, he should not be criticized for what oppositions (Especially the Unity Party) see as his ability to take road to his country, because they had sufficient time but didn’t do much.
According to him, a whole lot were left undone by the past administration and as such- he must be allowed to address them adequately. “It’s George Weah that’s solving the problem.
“Even though they say I know nothing, but I build more hospitals, I gave free education, I built most of the roads in the country, how can those that stay 12 years in government.”
He continued, “If you ask about good market, we build good markets. We built more hospitals in this country than any government since 1847.”
At the same time, President Weah encouraged the people of Grand to support his reelection. “Today I’m here to ask you, to vote for George Manneh Weah as President.”
Since the campaign process kickstarted, President George has visited several counties across Liberia. Recently, President Weah visited Maryland, and RiverGee counties.
