Residents of Koidu City have called on the Mayor of the Koidu New Sembehun City Council to thoroughly investigate the destruction of the Culvert at Kanawa Street in Koidu City.
The destroyed culvert is one of the culverts constructed by the Mayor of the Koidu New Sembehun City Council His Worship Komba Mathew Sam to ease vehicular traffic within the municipality of Koidu.
Speaking to this medium, Tamba Kemokai Junior a resident of Kanawa Street in Koidu City noted that the culvert in question is one of those destroyed at the same location noting the cause of destruction of the one in question coupled with the others cannot be ascertained and therefore urged the Mayor to thoroughly investigate the matter to maintain the value of money used to construct them.
“I believe the main cause of the destruction of the culverts in question cannot be unconnected with the topography of the place where the culverts were constructed; adding it probably must have been the reason for the destruction “Tamba Kemokai Jnr Opined.
In a similar sentiment, councillors of the Koidu New Sembehun City Council have strongly urged the council to also investigate the cause of destruction of the aforementioned culverts as they can also be destroyed by people who they described to be against development in the city and the District as a whole.
In respond to the concern of the councillors, his worship the Mayor Komba Mathew Sam assured the councillor that proper investigation into the said issues will be done and the culprits will be brought to book.
