She recounted the construction and rehabilitation of several feeder roads within the Mambahn Administrative District by the Margibi County Lawmaker, including the ongoing construction of the thirteen kilometer feeder road.
“We‘ve called you here today to honor you and present to you a nanny goat. Traditionally, it indicates that you are very productive and developmental. Our women group have been following your workings. Your Office rehabilitated many feeder roads, including the Goshen community road, the road linking Kaifa Town through Civil Compound to Goahr Town and the road corridor from FDA Junction through the Samuel Kanyon Doe Estate to the end of the New Life Community”, Madam Sharty explained.
Praising Representative Tarponweh for his supports towards women and youths empowerment, she added: “We’ve followed how you assisted in the establishment of the First Choice Women Vocational Training School within the EBK Barracks in Schiefflin Township.
