ACCESSIBLE ROADS CAN IMPROVE TOURISM
The Minister of Public Works Honourable Lebohang Monaheng visited three constituencies of Ketane, Qaqatu and Mount-Moororosi with the purpose of inspecting roads and bridges that have been destroyed by the heavy rains experienced in the country. During the public gatherings, the community indicated that they are not interested in being employed, what they need are tarred and accessible roads. They further stated that they have beautiful and attractive places which are good for tourism. On behalf of the communities, the Member of Parliament for Ketane Honourable ‘Marefuoe ‘Muso said it’s good that the Honourable minister and his team of engineers travelled on the same road so that they can attest to their plight.
When responding to tabled challenges, Honourable Monaheng noted that the trip is part of Phau-Manyetse operation launched by the Right Honourable Prime Minister Dr. Moeketsi Majoro at Ha Jimisi early this year. He said the government has allocated a budget for the construction and rehabilitation of roads and bridges so that people can access other services such as health centres and schools with ease. He said infrastructure such as roads contribute immensely in the development of the economy as already indicated by the community. Honourable Minister promised that after he listened and heard the challenges, he will go back with his technocrats and come back with positive responses.
During the public gathering held at Ha Makoae in the Mount-Moorosi constituency, the Honourable Minister donated maize meal to the Pulane Children’s Centre and the founder thanked Honourable Monaheng on behalf of the Centre and asked everyone to pray for all challenges facing Lesotho including Covid 19 and other social ills. The Centre was established by Jill Kensey and Grant Strugnell in 2008.
