In his remarks, the Sierra Leone vice president thanked the church for their initiative. He further stated that he is in there with the kissi people as they memorialize the loss of their loved ones. He praised the resilience of the Makona people in defeating the deadly Ebola Virus. However, he warned against complacency and urged the people to learn from the mistakes which led to the spread of the virus.
Dr. Foh further echoed the Government’s commitment in developing Koindu Township which was once the international hub for trade in West Africa. He declared that the poor road network in the Region will soon be addressed, as this is a major concern to the three Governments of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. On behalf of the government, Ambassador Dr. Victor Foh donated a brand new 5KVA Diesel Generator to the Community Radio Station, Radio Kissi Bendu in Koindu.
