IS KING JIMMY BRIDGE COMPLETE OR NOT? What’s really happening at the site of the former King Jimmy Bridge? The bridge collapsed and killed about six people (official figure) sometime back and after all those political visits and speeches close to the ruins of the bridge, the area was covered up (no pun intended) with corrugated Iron sheets with a few guys in overalls milling around, creating the impression something was being done. And speedily. We TAYA SEF! In any case in the last few days, one year since the bridge collapsed, we passed by and saw something that gave us a little hope. The bridge appears to have been constructed but it’s just like we were looking at the road to Kailahun. So when will this work be completed? In fact completing the bridge is one thing, getting people like us to drive or walk across it is a very important and different issue altogether. It’s about the confidence of people to use the bridge after that disaster. Hahahahahah! In fact we propose that Bababode should be the first person to drive across the bridge. We should probably call it Bababode Bridge. That guy stood on the ruins of the bridge and said a lot of things to journalists, proclaiming that the FCC would clear squatters from underneath bridges in Freetown immediately. Let him come with us to at least six places in Freetown for us to demonstrate that he only gave out hot air. And the rains are here again. After another week, we will visit the King Jimmy bridge area again to see what is being done there. If constructing a small bridge like that takes forever, how long will it take to construct a bridge to Lungi with Bababode and De Pa running Freetown? Hmmmmmmmm Pass De Rapture.
