Dispute among Bong County Lawmakers - May 8, 2008


Dispute among Bong County Lawmakers…
Bong County Representative, Samuel Bondo, has expressed his displeasure over a letter written by Senator Jewel Howard-Taylor, calling for stern action against Superintendent Ranney Jackson, for alleged mal-practices.

Representative Bondo described Senator Taylor’s letter as unilateral, and urged Internal Affairs Minister, Ambullai Johnson, not to honor such communication.

In a letter dated April 30, to Internal Affairs Minister, Ambullai Johnson, a copy of which is in the possession of this station, Senator Taylor alleged that Superintendent Jackson awarded a contract to rehabilitate the Gbarnga Sports Stadium to a group called “Catalyst” for over 190-Thousand United States dollars, without the consent of the County Legislative Caucus.
