The Chairperson of the Gbarpolu County Legislative Caucus, Senator Botoe Kanneh is calling on citizens to work together for the betterment of the County.
According to a release, Senator Kanneh made the statement during the induction ceremony of the newly appointed officials of the County.
Senator Kanneh said for the County to develop, citizens must demonstrate a high degree of unity, hard work and desist from vices that undermine the country’s progress.
The Gbarpolu County Lawmaker maintained that it was disheartening to see development in far-reaching counties when Gbarpolu which has a close proximity to Monrovia still remains underdeveloped.
Senator Kanneh challenged citizens to engage their leaders when they are in doubt about any issue concerning the county.
For his part, the Advisor to the County Legislative caucus, Senator Amara Konneh also admonished the citizens to work with the newly inducted officials.
Senator Konneh told the citizens that the selections for the appointment of the County officials were not based on political party association but rather on competence and geo–political distribution of power and the approval of Chiefs.
Konneh told the citizens that during the budget hearing, Gbarpolu County was able to get some allotments for various projects in the county.
Although he did not name how much was allotted to each project, but said beneficiaries of the allotment include the Bokomu District High School, Fassama High School as well as the construction of the Multilateral High School in Gbarma Town, amongst others.
In his induction speech, the newly inducted Superintendent, Sam K, Zinnah assured the Citizens that he will justify the confidence reposed in him by President Joseph Boakai.
Supt. Zinnah promised to serve with diligence and commitment for the development of Gbarpolu County.
Those inducted along with Zinnah include: James Kpoto Scott, County Administrative Officer, Howard P. Bunday, County Finance Officer and Onagbah Mormalee, County Development officer, amongst others.
