Bong County Legislative Caucus has seriously complained about the dismissal of chiefs from the county.
The Bong Lawmakers at a press conference yesterday said that it is very sad that the Bong County superintendent will chose to dismiss and replace chiefs who have served the county for years.
Addressing the press conference in the office of Deputy House Speaker, Prince Moye, the Chairperson of the Bong Legislative Caucus, Henry Yallah said that over ten chiefs of Bong County have been already dismissed and replaced by the county Superintendent.
Senator Yallah said that when the issue of removing and replacing chiefs of the county came about, the County Caucus issued resolution to put an end to the dismissal of chiefs of the area, but said that the county Superintendent has failed to listen to the warning.
He said that before President Weah departed from Liberia they had a meeting with him and were told to put a stop to the ongoing action of the superintend to no avail.
According to him, they as county Caucus are of the understanding that with all of the intervention from President Weah, those chiefs are been replaced with a sweeping wave something he said is not in the interest of the people.
“We understand that the other party is not adhering to the stay order issue by the caucus of Liberia” he said.
Senator Yallah quoted Article 56 of the Liberian constitution as saying, to remove a chief, there must be a proven cause that will allow anyone to so.
He indicated that the action that is being carried out is not legally done.
According to him, the rights of the chiefs have been violated by the government of Liberian and want the right things to be done.
