Speaker Chambers informed the people of Maryland about the government’s approval of funds for the establishment of a technical and vocational college in Gedetabo. He encouraged the citizens of Maryland to vote for President Weah and candidates from the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) in the upcoming elections, emphasizing that they have the county’s best interests at heart.
Expressing his gratitude for the overwhelming support, President Weah praised the people of Maryland for their efforts and mentioned his excitement at witnessing the tremendous turnout to meet him. He thanked Marylanders for their consistent support and promised to continue serving as their president, working towards the betterment of Liberia in his second term.
