Mr Jatta further pointed out that the garden’s fence is in disrepair, and despite the fact that around 500 compound heads work there, the site lacks basic facilities such as toilets. He also raised concerns about the health centre, noting that although an ambulance is available, the poor condition of the access road makes it difficult to navigate. He stressed that the absence of a labour ward poses serious challenges for pregnant women, though the community has already allocated land for its construction.
Mrs Bintou Manjang urged the expansion of health centres in Busumbala, Bajulinding, and Yundum, stressing that these hospitals are overstretched and require urgent attention.
Ebrima Sillah, Minister for Transport, Works and Infrastructure, assured the audience of the government’s commitment to robust infrastructure development across the country. He announced plans to construct new roads in Kombo, with Busumbala set to benefit. “The Coastal Road – Daru Busumbala, the Busumbala main highway, and the Ngoogu Ba Junction connecting Jambur and Baniaka highway are all earmarked for development. Surveys of these roads will commence soon,” he announced.
On his part, President Adama Barrow highlighted ongoing development projects and future plans for the Busumbala constituency and the wider West Coast Region. He called on citizens to separate party politics from national programmes, urging solidarity and peaceful coexistence to advance development.
