But this I think has unfairly stifled and muted the kind of applause and celebratory responses the declaration on road construction should have earned. I said I would make road construction my number one priority and spend a major part of my tenure to accomplish that. I would tell the Liberian people; “Let us sacrifice and build good roads and all other things shall be added unto us!” No one can refute the multitude of benefits good roads can deliver to any economy. In short, the money will follow the good roads. The President’s announcement on his road construction agenda was so unprecedented in it specificity and it grandiosity.
