Henry Smith

While Mabaruma has come a long way since receiving township status in 2015, more financial support is needed to ensure that it forges ahead with its plan to become a model hinterland town, according to Mayor Henry Smith.
Speaking to this newspaper recently, Smith informed that in keeping with government’s green state development initiative, a green park was established at Hosororo.
Additionally, the town has seen the execution of a number of road projects, including the construction of a concrete roadway from the airport to the Mabaruma main road junction and from the Kumaka waterfront to the main road. Presently he said, the construction of a concrete road from the Kumaka Junction road to the secondary school in the area is being done.
