Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span> Bong County District Three lawmaker Marvin Cole and the contractor of the Bong Engineer Construction Company have traded blame over the mismanagement of a US$10,000.00 development fund intended for a town hall construction in Gbarney, Jorquelleh District Three.<\/p>\n

The amount was part of a US$1.7m County Social Development Funds (CSDF) placed in a resolution by delegates of the 2018 County Sitting.<\/p>\n

The construction firm received US$8,000.00 from the administration of Bong County on August 18, 2020 (Check no.99563), but is alleging that its failure to complete the project is the result of the lawmaker reportedly requesting for over US$ 4,000 as \u201ckickback\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rep. Cole, however, rejected the allegations, saying at no time did he request for any \u201ckickback\u201d from the contractor. The lawmaker claimed that he ordered the demolition of the project because the construction firm was doing a \u201csubstandard job\u201d beyond the expectations of locals of the town.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never been impressed with the work that was done by the company during the project, that\u2019s why I ordered the demolition of the project,\u201d the lawmaker said during his recent appearance on Radio Gbarnga.<\/p>\n

To date, construction work on the building has stalled as there is still uncertainty whether the project would be completed despite the county paying ninety percent of the fund.<\/p>\n

Gbarney, a town of over two thousand inhabitants, lacks a town hall, and residents had hope that the construction of such facility would have created a space to gather and hold discussions.<\/p>\n

During campaigns for the 2017 elections, residents pleaded with the lawmaker to construct a town hall to save them of embarrassment faced most time when government officials or politicians visit the community to hear from them on topics of interest.<\/p>\n

US $5k chairs draws ire<\/b><\/p>\n

Another issue drawing controversy in Rep. Cole\u2019s district is the US$ 5,000.00 reportedly used by the Bong Engineering Construction Company to purchase four locally-made chairs for the town hall in Wainsue Town, Jorquelleh District.<\/p>\n

Jorquelleh District Three\u2019s commissioner, Washington Bonnah, expressed disappoinment that the amount spent on the chairs doesn\u2019t worth. \u201cTo spend US$5,000 on locally-made chairs is something incomprehensible. I strongly feel the money was wrongly spent by the contractor,\u201d Bonnah said.<\/p>\n

Bonnah told a team of Civil Society actors who visited Wainsue that they had no knowledge of the funds used to procure the chairs, pursuant to the 2018 County Sitting.<\/p>\n

Stalled US$ 75,000.00 Library project<\/b><\/p>\n

Delegates at the 2018 County Sitting also placed in the resolution US$75,000.00 for the construction of a modern library. Underlining the importance of the library, Rep. Cole, in 2020, told Radio Gbarnga, a local radio station in Bong County, that President George Weah made available 2,000 bags of cement as his contribution towards the project.<\/p>\n

Despite the intervention of the president and the US$50,000.000 paid against the project cost of US$75,000.00, it remains unclear why the project has halted, and that the general work done on the structure hasn\u2019t gotten the building at roof level.<\/p>\n

According to engineers, based on the current status of the building, taking into consideration the amount of US$50,000.00 paid, including materials used on the dimensions of the project, it\u2019s evident that the amount is very huge for the work performed so far.<\/p>\n

How the revelation of mismanagement came to light<\/p>\n

The revelation on the mismanagement of the county\u2019s funds came to light when three Bong-based Civil Society Organizations Wednesday released a damning report to residents of the county.<\/p>\n

With funding support from ForumCiv, the organizations \u2013 the Media And Civic Education-Rural Liberia, Foundation for International Dignity, and Development Education Leadership Training in Action Human Rights Foundation \u2013 partnered in implementing the \u201cBong County Social Development Funds Accountability Project\u201d between September and December, 2021.<\/p>\n

The three organizations found several irregularities in the management of the CSDF, awarding of contracts, and implementation of the various development projects, thereby resulting to several stalled projects.<\/p>\n

Out of a total of thirty (30) construction projects (bridges, clinics, schools, offices for chiefs, road rehabilitation, and renovation of public facilities) delegates agreed upon at the November 12, 2018 County Council Sitting, not a single project was fully completed in the county.<\/p>\n

Bulk of these projects are far from completion and most of them are currently being abandoned across the county.<\/p>\n
