“Working together with my colleagues including Representative Eugine Kollie shows that development is not about individual effort but about collective responsibility for the betterment of our county,” Senator Moye said

This county tour is not just about seeing communities but about listening deeply and acting responsibly on what we hear.”
“I believe that when leaders walk with their people and sit with them and understand their daily struggles then the solutions we provide will be meaningful and lasting. My work in the Senate is guided by the voices of Bong County and this tour is a way to strengthen that connection and ensure that every district benefits from national representation.
