The Moawoma Grassroots Movement for Development has made a formal appeal to the government, urging the construction of the long-requested Kenema-Zimmi highway.

In a letter addressed to president Bio, Chief Ansumana Bockarie Kenneh, chairman of the movement, expressed gratitude for the re-election of the president and the positive impact of appointments from their region during his first term.

The construction of the highway, which would connect the chiefdoms of Dama, Koya, Gaura, Tunkia, Nomo, and Makpele, has been a long-standing request.

According to the letter, the paved road is seen as critical to unlocking the socio-economic potential of the region by improving trade, connectivity, and local development.

The movement hopes the president will prioritize the project in his second term to accelerate progress in this remote part of Sierra Leone.

The highway is expected to play a key role in regional development by facilitating easier movement of goods and people, ultimately boosting economic activities.
