Gbarpolu County Senator Armah Zolu Jallah says his county got the highest allotment under the Public Sector Investment Plan for 2012/2013.
He revealed that under the Public Sector Investment Plan, the amount of US$33,963,058 is allotted for the three budget-year period.
Senator Jallah explained that under the public sector investment plan of 2012/13, the government will provide more than US$1.2 million, while donors will provide more than US$14 million to Gbarpolu County.
Addressing a news conference Tuesday, he said under the 2013/14 public sector investment plan, government will provide more than US$2 million while donors have expressed willingness to provide more than US$8 million, noting that the same would be done for 2014/15 fiscal year.
Senator Jallah said several projects that would have positive impact on the citizens of the county have been earmarked.
He named the projects as Gbarma-Weasua Road, Brewerville-Bopolu Road, Sawmill-Bopolu Road, as well as other roads in the county to be rehabilitated.
Senator Jallah said schools and health centers would also be implemented.
