The Joint Security has announced safety protocols for the pending inauguration of President-elect, Joseph N. Boakai, which is slated for Monday, January 22, 2024, at the Capitol Building, Capitol Hill, Monrovia.
Operators of vehicles, motorbikes, and “kehkehs” are urged to adhere to these measures: beginning Thursday, January 18, 2024, no motorbike, “kehkeh” and heavy-duty truck will be allowed to ply the Roberts International Airport Road to ELWA intersection, and Tubman Boulevard remains a no-go zone to motorbikes and “kehkehs” during this operation.
According to a Joint Security press release, heavy-duty trucks wishing to come to Monrovia from the route of the Roberts International Airport (RIA) will be allowed to do so through the 15th Gate, Firestone Road, during this operation, while motorbikes and “kehkehs” from Gardnersville and Duala will be detoured through Waterside and will return through the same route during this operation.
