Nimba County electoral district #7 Representative, Roger Domah is calling on President George Weah to speed up with the appointment of board members to the Jackson Fiah Doe Memorial Hospital (JFDMH) in Tappita and the Nimba County Community College (NCCC) in Sanniquellie, respectively.
According to the Nimba district seven Representatives, it is a pity for such viable entities to be operating without a board, something he said is seriously hampering their operations.
The Unity Party stalwart said those professional institutions need board that will help the administrations to ensure their objectives are met.
He said the lawmaker of Nimba County electoral district six, where the hospital is located has written the Liberian leader since 2018, regarding the essence of the board but there has been no response from the President’s office.
Rep. Domah said his colleague, Representative Twain Dorwohn Gleekia due to the numerous noise at the hospital wrote the president to address the situation, but he is yet to get response.
“There is a need for Board. The board will really galvanize supports for the functioning of the hospital. Even NCCC has been operating since 2018 without new board members appointed. They have just been operating quasi board during graduation. Solution is needed,” he said.
Rep. Domah made the call when he was honored by the National Civil Society Watch of Liberia as the Outstanding Humanitarian Lawmaker of the year.
He added, “I want the president to speed up with the appointment of new board members at the two institutions.”
