Liberia: Public Works to test newly installed Asphalt Plant
Jan 11, 2010
by Michael Kpayili / Staff Writer
Asphalt Plant
The Ministry of Public Works will shortly test a newly installed Asphalt Plant brought into the Country years back.
Making the disclosure on Friday January 8, 2010 when he toured facilities and project sites of the Ministry of Public Works, Minister Samuel Kofi Woods, II said the Plant will help enhance the ongoing road rehabilitation especially the pitching of damaged spots on the pave roads.
The final component of the Plant, the ‘burner’ also called ‘heater’ arrived in the country few weeks and has now been installed making it ready for testing. He expressed delight over the final installation of the Plant outlining its importance to the reconstruction drive of Liberia. “This Plant is intended to produce Asphalt, which is locally referred to as ‘quota’ and it will help with the paving of roads and pitching of the pavement”.
Commenting on the enforcement of zoning regulations in Liberia, Minister Woods warned that he will not compromise the zoning laws of Liberia. He threatened drastic action against all Liberians and expatriate business entities who have erected structures on wetlands which is obstructing the natural flow of water.
Minister Woods cautioned that there would be no compromise in the implementation of the zoning code which has been tampered with for long time now. With regard to the legal regulations surrounding the zoning laws of Liberia, Minister Woods intimated that MPW will follow appropriate procedures which are in line with the laws before going into actions.
He gave the option to those who feel in their wisdom infringed upon to seek the appropriate redress at the Ministry or in any court of competent jurisdiction, noting that as a Human Rights lawyer, he believes in the due process of law.
He said individual right to private property will not be violated outlining that if government wants to use a private property, that person would be properly contacted and compensated.
Minister Woods said it was important for him to be on the road to see for himself the development projects that are ongoing in the country. “I want to be part of the process myself by coming on the spot to make sure that we are doing the right thing and to identify some of the technical problems as well as meet the satisfaction of our workers”, Minister Woods outlined.
Commenting on the Caldwell Bridge outside Monrovia, Minister Woods said the decision has been arrived at already but the process of tendering and procurement which befits international best practice is ongoing. He revealed that it is not just about putting structures in place but noted that the Ministry is taking into account durability and sustainability of these structures as well as the safety of the Liberian people. He pointed out that when the design of the bridge is completed, the public will be informed about the next step. He mentioned however that the bridge has been clean-up and accessible for light vehicles pending the total reconstruction of the bridge.
