Gambia News: More Ferries,VP Promises

Sep 08,2007 by

gambia Courtesty of Gambia Journal -

Vice President Aja Isatou Njie-Saidy has revealed government’s plans to secure more ferries for the Banjul –Barra  route. Mrs. Njie Saidy said this while facing a question and answer on Wednesday 5th September. She said the plan stems out of government’s awareness of the importance of ferry traffic especially on the north bank area of the country. Mrs. Njie added that government also plans to rehabilitate the dilapidated terminals on the route.

Mrs. Njie Saidy also disclosed that government intends to invest on the rehabilitation of a number of feeder roads in order to further ease and facilitate communication within the country. Mrs. Njie Saidy also deplored the caliber of construction companies, poor “maintenance” praxis within institutions responsible for the roads and budgetary constraints as factors that converge to make the upkeep of roads very expensive, as roads quickly get into so serious state of disrepairs that they have to be re-done allover again.
 
In a related development the National Assembly on Wednesday passed a government motion for the amendment of the Highway Authority Act in order to give the institution a “greater vigor”, an official spokesman said. The  National Assembly continues with the forth day of its third legislative session on Thursday.
