Somwarbi\u2019s first term in office was characterized by unity, good representation, and community development programs across the district, including re-conditioning farm-to-market roads, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Elder Gorpu also disclosed that Somwarbi\u2019s good work also brought several GSM facilities in Yarmie, compared to the past.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that giving the lawmaker a second term will enable him to continue his good work and excellent representation.<\/p>\n<p>Several women groups at the ceremony also praised the ruling CDC lawmaker for the level of relief he has brought to them in the district.<\/p>\n<p>According to the women, Somwarbi\u2019s intervention has helped reduced frequent death of pregnant women caused by home delivery because they cannot access health facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The women recalled that in the past, they used to go for medication in neighboring Guinea, but the intervention of the lawmaker has addressed the situation.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Representative Somwarbi described his endorsement by the citizens as a covenant between him and his constituents, while pledging to do more if given a second chance.<\/p>\n<p>He said when reelected in October, he will continue his good across the district.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis endorsement from the citizens speaks volumes to what I have done during this first term, and their support for my second term will enable me to move ahead and bring more development to impact their lives\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the people of Yarmie administrative district pledged support for the re-election of President George to enable him to continue his development programs across Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>The county chairperson of the ruling CDC, Reginald Mehn, thanked the citizens for supporting the second-term bid of both President Weah and their lawmaker, Joseph Nya Somwarbi.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman Mehn pledged government\u2019s commitment to pave roads in Yarmie administrative district that he disclosed will be done during President Weah\u2019s pending visit to Nimba.<\/p>\n<p>Yarmie chief elder Cooper Walakah, who spoke on behalf of fellow chiefs, underscored the many development activities carried out under the Weah administration.<\/p>\n<p>He named the pavement of road from Sanniqullie to Karnplay which is in District 3, including health facility, among others.<\/p>\n<p><b>Source: Liberia news The New Dawn Liberia<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Thomas Domah Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
