The government of Liberia has accepted the drawings of the soon to be
renovated Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Paynesville.
The multi-million dollar sports complex was destroyed during the heat
of the Liberian civil conflict.
The Minister of Youth and Sports Counselor Wheatonia Y. Dixon-Barnes
on Monday, May 2,received the working drawings for the SKD Sports
Complex from the Ministry of Public Works.
The six cartons of working drawings, presented to the Sports Minister
by Mr. Thanyi Yi, Economic and Economic Counselor at the Embassy of
the People's Republic of China, were submitted on April 12 for onward
transmission to the Public Works Ministry for technical review and
advice.
As contained in a communication from the Acting Public Works Minister
Jackie A. Bruce to Sports Minister Barnes, the drawings have been
reviewed and subsequently approved. The Public Works Ministry says
that the drawings have met the technical specifications of the
Ministry.
Thereafter, Sports Minister Barnes, on behalf of the Liberian
government, told the Chinese Embassy in Monrovia to inform the Chinese
Engineering Firm known as the Chnia Wuah Architectural design
Institute of the approval of the working drawings for the
implementation of the project and to commence the renovation work at
the SKD Sports Complex.
