Weah’s re-election bid in the upcoming National Presidential and Legislative Elections. The enthusiastic response from the citizens demonstrated their commitment to standing with the Bong for Weah campaign and ensuring the President’s second term in office.
Led by Hon. Augustus J. Flomo, Chairman of Bong for Weah 2023 and a native of Bellemu Town in Panta District, the team received a warm welcome from the residents. The presence of their hometown hero, who now works closely with the President, brought joy to the community, as they recognized his efforts in bringing positive change and development to their lives.
During the program, Hon. Flomo highlighted several significant developments and initiatives undertaken by the government, particularly in Panta District and Bong County as a whole. These achievements encompassed various sectors, including strategic agriculture development, road projects, educational support programs, and improvements in the health system.
In terms of agriculture, the government has implemented initiatives aimed at promoting agricultural productivity and food security in Bong County. Through these efforts, farmers have received training, access to modern farming techniques, and the provision of quality seeds and fertilizers. These initiatives have included tangible investments for value addition to farmers’ groups, such as the MeniNina Farmers in Bellemu Town, Panta District. These measures have not only boosted agricultural yields but have also improved the livelihoods of many farming families in the county.
Furthermore, the administration has prioritized infrastructure development, with a particular focus on road projects. Upgrades and construction of new roads have enhanced connectivity within the county, facilitating the movement of goods and people and promoting economic growth. The improved road network has also made it easier for farmers to transport their produce to markets, resulting in increased trade and income generation opportunities.
Education has been another crucial area of focus for the government, as evidenced by their support programs. The government has taken steps to alleviate the financial burden on parents by covering the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) fees for students. This initiative has ensured that more students in Bong County have access to quality education, increasing their chances of pursuing higher education and securing better career prospects.
Additionally, the government has made public university education available to parents at no tuition cost. This groundbreaking policy has opened doors for many deserving students who were previously unable to afford tertiary education. By investing in the education of the youth, the government aims to build a skilled workforce and empower the next generation to contribute to Liberia’s development.
The health system in Bong County has also experienced positive changes under President Weah’s leadership. Notably, the government has increased the salaries of doctors, recognizing their crucial role in providing quality healthcare services to the citizens. This move has not only improved the welfare of medical professionals but has also contributed to better healthcare outcomes for the residents of the County.
In response to these significant achievements, the citizens of Panta District confirmed their unwavering support for President George M. Weah and pledged to continue standing with the Bong for Weah campaign. They expressed their desire to make Bong County a stronghold of support for the President’s re-election in the October 2023 National Elections.
The overwhelming turnout and the citizens’ commitment signify the impact that President Weah’s administration has had on the lives of the people in the County. The various development initiatives in agriculture, infrastructure, education, and healthcare have brought tangible improvements, empowering the residents and fostering hope for a brighter future.
As the Bong for Weah team continues to engage with communities across the county, it is clear that President Weah’s vision and dedication to progress resonate deeply with the citizens of Panta District and beyond.
