Also speaking, Madam Betty Z. Loman, a classroom teacher in Bola Town, Senjeh District, Bomi County commended the company.

For her part, the Chairlady of Zelekai Town, Madam Korpo Momolu thanked the company for the construction of road. "Our road is all right for now because, before then, passengers riding on motorbikes could get down off the bikes on which they used to ride because of the bad road conditions."

"But for now, no more getting down from bikes, while on your journey between Duala and Tubmanburg or Bomi County".

"Well, what I want to tell Western cluster is thanks for what she has started and that the company should continue; they should not stop".

Commenting on the issue of hand-pump, Madam Momolu said that: "The hand-pump is now safe because, as time passed, it used to be opened, which attracted harmful substances."

"But since the renovation and fencing of the hand pump in the area by Western Cluster, the issue of safe drinking water in the area has been taken care of by Western Cluster Liberia".

Meanwhile, the Town Chief of Zelekai Town, Mr. Edwin Momolu described senior managers from Western Cluster as down to Earth and selfless people.

"They are not proud, they come here to me on my farm, sit with me and we discuss about the needs of our town and the community as a whole".
