Lofa County Electoral District # 3 Representative Eugene Fallah Kparkar
wants the Ministry of Agriculture to urgently probe the unbearable
pollution around the Jamaica Road Bridge on the Somalia Drive.
According to him, the pollution is causing serious embarrassment for
Liberians and other nationals who reside in the Cow Factory Community.
He mentioned that passersby and community dwellers are always seen
holding their noses when they are approaching where cow and goats were
slaughtered.
The Liberty Party (LP) senior partisan pointed out that cow and goats
blood are seen on the grounds of some areas within the Community.
He expressed dismay over the refusal of the management of slaughter
house to adhere to modern health rules, thus making the environment
hazardous and detrimental at all times.
In his communication to the House’s Plenary, Representative Kparkar
also mentioned that groups of cow are noted for causing traffic jam when
they are moving from one locality to another to get food.
According to him, the pending construction work on the Somalia Drive
Highway might likely be stalled due to the continue walking of groups of
cow on that major route.
He expressed the urgent need for the relocation of the slaughter house to ensure community sanitation.
Representative Kparkar argued that the continue pollution without the
intervention of the Ministry of Agriculture that is knowledgeable on
agricultural issues is troubling and worrisome.
He wants the House summons Agriculture Minister Dr. Florence Chenoweth,
to provide reasons why the slaughter house situated at a major route on
the Somalia Drive cannot be relocated.
