Gento Group Director was explaining why they failed to meet their deadline of completing the Jomo Kenyatta/King Harman Road junction by end of April.

Giving reasons for not meeting their deadline, Gento Group Director, Mohamed Gento Kamara told this Medium that just after they made the declaration to complete the tarring of that road by April ending, the government asked them to construct a foot bridge along New England Ville junction which he said stalled their timetable for two weeks as they need to draw the plan for that foot bridge and also start the construction.

15 January 2015 – Spearheaded by the United Nations, a team of international experts has begun an Ebola Recovery Assessment (ERA) mission in Sierra Leone as part of an effort to partner with Governments to address the impact of the virus on affected countries. 

The ERA mission is made up of experts from the European Union, World Bank and the African Development Bank. They are expected to finish their work this weekend in Accra, Ghana after a one-day stop in Guinea tomorrow. 

The mission’s aim is to work with the Governments of the countries hardest hit by the virus –Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea – to assess critical areas that will spearhead economic and social recovery in the post-Ebola era.

According to a statement released by the Office of the UN Resident Coordinator in Sierra Leone, David McLachlan-Karr, the ERA is anchored in national ownership.
