RMFA funds Bo-Yele-Matotoka Road Rehabilitation to Boost connectivity and Economic Growth.
The Road Maintenance Fund Administration (RMFA) has commenced funding of a major Road Rehabilitation along the Bo-Yele-Matotoka corridor underscoring its role in strengthening Sierra Leone’s road network .
This intervention, covering 90km stretch includes rehabilitation, regravelling, and construction of culverts, aimed at improving connectivity and supporting socio-economic activities across the nation.
At the official handing over ceremony, the RMFA Chief Executive Officer Mohamed Kallon highlighted the organization’s strategic mission to provide dedicated funding for critical road maintenance projects. He explained that the project is financed entirely through the national Road Fund, to which all Sierra Leoneans contribute, and is part of RMFA’s broader agenda to ensure sustainable road maintenance, national connectivity, and economic growth.
He emphasized that the project is structured as a Performance-Based Contract, which holds contractors accountable to maintain the road to high quality standards over a three year period, ensuring safe and reliable use throughout the contract period .
RMFA, in Partnership with the Sierra Leone Roads Authority (SLRA), will closely monitor the project to guarantee compliance with all performance indicators.
The CEO also called on local communities to actively participate in monitoring, describing them as the first line of oversight to ensure transparency, quality, and timely completion. He further highlighted that according to the World Bank, every dollar invested in road infrastructure generates up to four dollars in economic impact, demonstrating the significant value of RMFA’s investment to national development.
While RMFA provides the funding, the project is being supervised by SLRA and implemented by Malakoh Construction & Services, with strict adherence to performance standards.
RMFA’s oversight ensures that these standards are consistently met, linking financial accountability to tangible road improvements.
Community leaders, including the Paramount Chief, praised the Government through RMFA and SLRA for delivering on its promise to rehabilitate this vital corridor. They described the project as transformative, improving access to markets, healthcare, and essential services, and assured all partners of full local cooperation.
Through initiatives like the Bo–Yele–Matotoka rehabilitation, RMFA continues to demonstrate its leadership in financing sustainable road maintenance and infrastructure projects across Sierra Leone.
By ensuring reliable funding, monitoring performance, and promoting community engagement, RMFA is central to the Government’s efforts to enhance transport connectivity, promote trade, and support inclusive economic growth.
