Welcome once again!
In most part of Liberia, District 1 Montserrado County being no exception despite its proximity to Monrovia, bad road is one of the characteristics that better describes the hardship Liberians are regularly exposed to each year.
As the rainy season gradually sets in again, major economic activities will become permanently hindered because of bad roads, leaving fruits and vegetables of commercial value to rot while on their way to market. It is against this concern that Representative Morris embarked on the reconditioning of roads in the district to help alleviate the problem. See slideshow of communities that recently benefitted from the Honorable's initiative-in partnership with some foreign partners but no support from Central government whatsoever. Join our partnership team and help build our beloved District.
Speaking on separate occasions during his legislative report recently, the Montserrado District #1 lawmaker named some of his interventions as his continued engagements to resolve the labor crisis between the workers Union and the Morris American Rubber Company (MARCO) as well as engaging with stake holders including President George Manneh Weah to find an amicable solution to the ongoing Fendell land crisis.

We are determined to transform our district and will gather whatever necessary that will benefit our people.
