Guinean lawmaker Gbato Mamy has expressed concerns over the state of infrastructure and security in the N'Zérékoré region during his parliamentary recess. Mamy, who represents the region, conducted a tour of several sub-prefectures and localities, highlighting the challenges faced by the local population. The tour covered ten sub-prefectures, allowing Mamy to engage directly with communities and gather information on their difficulties. The lawmaker's findings have raised alarm over the region's infrastructure and security.
One of the major concerns raised by Mamy is the state of the region's educational infrastructure. In some localities, residents lack access to schools, with children forced to travel long distances to attend classes. Existing schools are often in a state of disrepair, having been built several decades ago without renovation. Mamy's findings have highlighted the need for investment in the region's education sector to address these challenges. The lawmaker's tour also revealed that some areas have not seen the construction of new schools since Guinea gained independence.
The condition of the region's roads is another significant concern raised by Mamy. Several key routes are in a state of disrepair, making travel and transportation of goods challenging. The lawmaker specifically highlighted the need for rehabilitation of the road connecting Gouécké to Koropara, which he believes could be reprofiled or bitumenized. This would not only improve connectivity within the region but also provide an alternative route for travelers between Beyla and Conakry. Mamy's comments have underscored the importance of investing in the region's road network.
Mamy also raised concerns over the security situation in the region. In some sub-prefectures, the lawmaker found that there was only one gendarme responsible for protecting populations of up to 35,000 people. This shortage of security personnel has raised concerns about the ability of authorities to maintain law and order. Mamy's findings have highlighted the need for increased investment in security infrastructure and personnel to ensure the safety of local residents.
The lawmaker's tour also revealed that the region's infrastructure challenges have significant economic implications. The poor state of roads and lack of access to markets hinder the ability of local farmers to transport their produce, limiting economic opportunities. Mamy believes that investing in infrastructure would have a positive impact on the region's economy and improve the overall quality of life for residents. The lawmaker's comments have emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing the region's development challenges.
In response to the challenges identified during his tour, Mamy has announced plans to compile a report detailing the region's needs. The report will be submitted to the National Assembly, with the aim of securing support and investment for infrastructure and security initiatives. Mamy's efforts are seen as a positive step towards addressing the region's challenges and improving the lives of local residents. The lawmaker's commitment to representing the interests of his constituents has been welcomed by local communities.
The situation in N'Zérékoré highlights the broader challenges facing Guinea's rural regions. The country's infrastructure and security needs are significant, with many areas lacking access to basic services. Mamy's comments have underscored the need for increased investment in infrastructure and security to address these challenges. The lawmaker's efforts to raise awareness about the region's needs are seen as an important step towards securing support and investment for development initiatives.
