ZOWEINTA: Grounds have been broken for the installation of a "Pipe-borne Water" System in Zoweinta, Kokoyah District #1, B**g County.
The project is being initiated by the district's lawmaker Hon. Prince K. Koinah, in partnership with some members of the 55th Legislature, especially the majority block.
The ground breaking ceremony took place on Friday, November 29, 2024 by a team of representatives including Rep. Prince Koinah (B**g District #1) Richard Nagbe Koon (Montserrado District #11), Bishop Manneh Johnson (Bomi District #2), and Clarence Mints (Grand Bassa District #2).
Others are Rep. Alexander Poure (River Gee District #3), and Rep. Austin Taylor (Maryland District #3) including scores of residents and community leaders of the district.
Speaking to journalists following the ground breaking ceremony, Representative Prince Koinah revealed that the ground breaking of the project is in fulfilment of a promise made to residents of the district in David Dean's Town during the 2023 campaign periods.
Additionally, Rep. Koinah added that the installation of the Pipe-borne Water will not only affect Zoweinta, but Botota, Rock Crusher, and David Dean's Town amongst others.
Koinah furthered that following the first phase of the project in Zowinta, the second phase will immediately commence in the selected towns. He then placed the total cost of the Zoweinta's project at twenty thousand United States Dollars (U.S $20,000).
Rep. Koinah assured residents of Zoweinta that the project will be completed and dedicated to them by January of 2025, with a call for collaborative efforts from residents of the area.
As a means of effectuating the start of the project, one million Liberian dollars was pledged by Representative Richard Koon and a team of lawmakers from the majority block who graced the ground breaking ceremony of the project. Rep. Koon added that the money is their own way of contributing to jump-start project.
On the margin of the event, Rep. Koinah and his team also attended the grand opening of "Menina Resort"-- a modern State-of-the-art Hotel built in Zoweinta by former Unity Party Campaign Manager William Kotee.
Remarking at the event, Rep. Koinah called for the pavement of the road from Palala to Zowinta, craving the involvement of the B**g Legislative Caucus. He added that if the road is paved, it would ease transportation and traveling constraints faced by commuters along that route.
Rep. Richard Koon and his team also contributed two hundred thousand Liberian dollars to the management of Menina Resort for their one night stay in the Hotel, with a promise of joining others to host events at the Resort.
The opening of Menina was graced by scores of government officials including Senator Prince Kermue Moye, superintendent Hawa Norris and host of national and local government officials.
