Hon. Banks receives NEC Certificate as GRAND BASSA Lawmaker Ahead of INAUGURATION

LIBERIA, JANUARY 19, 2024)—Following legal electoral battle at the Supreme Court, the National Elections Commission of Liberia has finally certificated Hon. Clarence T. Banks as winner of the 2023 Elections in Grand Bassa Electoral District Two.

The Thursday, January 18 ceremony was triggered by ruling from the Supreme Court of Liberia that rendered incumbent Representative Mary M. Karwor’s complaint non-substantive to overturn the outcome of the District Election as was prayed for by the CDC female candidate.

The Supreme Court’ Wednesday, January 17 Ruling upheld the Result that declared Hon. Banks winner of the October 10 Elections on account that there was no electoral malpractice contrary to the claim of Hon. Mary Karwor, thus making her a former Lawmaker of the 54th National Legislature.

The legal argument prevented Hon. Banks from being formally part of Legislative functions including Oath of Office, Speaker and Deputy Speaker’ Elections as well as other recent legislative activities since the kickoff of the 55th National Legislature.

The legal pursuit begun at the Local Office of the National Elections Commission with Hearing Officer’s involvement upward to the Board of Commissioners prior to the Supreme Court’s probe and subsequent Ruling.

The newly certified Electoral District two Representative, Clarence Banks democratically retired the Female Legislator who was pursuing a third term GOAL after serving from 2011 to 2023 [12 years].

Mary Karwor is the wife of Liberia’s Traditional Council of Chiefs and Elders Chairman, Zanzan Karwor who is also expected to be replaced under the Unity Party’s Administration after serving as Leader of the Council for over 18 years under three Presidents.

As it stands, the certification of Clarence T. Banks as Representative paves the way for his immediate participation into ongoing legislative functions ahead of the January 22 Inauguration of Hon. Joseph Nyumah Boakai Sr and Senator Jeremiah Kpan Koung as President and Vice President of the Republic of Liberia on Monday; a ceremony that will be hosted on the grounds of the Capitol Building.

RUBBER AGENT -FLOMO Conquers Hunter's Son VINCENT in Tough Electoral Race, Wins WEE District

BUCHANAN, October 17) --- ONE of the most talked about “Uphill Battles” in the 2023 Elections has just found its melting point in Grand Bassa to the dismay of hundreds of Liberians [Home and Abroad] as popularly known Rubber Dealer overpowered Incumbent Lawmaker Vincent Willie.

Hon. Alfred Flomo’s triumphant Record sprung out immediately the County Magisterial Office of the National Elections Commission climaxed all the tallying responsibilities regarding Votes across the five electoral Districts of Grand Bassa.

According to NEC’s Final Provisional Results for WEE- Electoral District four ( #4), Candidate Alfred Flomo used 9,846 Votes as a decisive Knockout in the Boxing Ring to show Representative Willie the Exit route at the Capitol Building after Vincent obtained 9,549 Votes.

The Results demonstrate that the Rubber Dealer is inclined to the Plantation Forest near Compound three in the District where he captured the Hunter's Son with favorable Votes for his Victory.

The Election outcome that has entered the County’ most astonishing Book of Record, has placed many Political pundits and citizens in a pondering state of being; considering Sir-Vincent as a strategic and well calculative Politician who had since enjoyed the admiration and support of his Youthful Generation.

Prior to the Final Results, the two Candidates and their supporters wore separate Propaganda garments for the same reason as they overwhelmed the Social Media with congratulatory posts as part of strategies to have mesmerized the Public and convinced their followers.

During the process of Campaign, the outgoing Lawmaker was the trumpeting Voice of the Coalition for Democratic Change in the County, a mood that made him glaringly popular and gained high proximity to President Weah; though he contested as Independent Candidate in WEE District alias “WEE Nation”.

This made the Lawmaker shouldered the Campaign of CDC Senatorial Candidate, Janjay Baikpeh to the disadvantage of his Political Godfather, Senator Jonathan Kaipay and the expected Senatorial Race Winner, Hon. Gbehzohn Milton Findley.

For the Unity Party Candidate Alfred Flomo who has emerged Winner, he championed the Campaign task of his Confidant Findley despite of being Unity Party's Representative Candidate that featured outgoing Senator Jonathan Kaipay.

Meanwhile, reports from WEE District and Buchanan City revealed that jubilation is ongoing in the respective Constituencies by majority Youths and Contractors of the Liberia Agricultural Company for the election of Hon. Flomo after months of Political competition.

Ex-Protemp Findley Makes Triumphant Return To Capital Building with Massive Votes

BUCHANAN, OCTOBER 17)—Grand Bassa five Electoral Districts were the scenes of uncontrollable joy when the National Elections Commission declared Senatorial Candidate, Gbehzohngar Milton Findley Winner of the just climaxed Democratic competition for the Senate.

Findley used 55,624 Votes which constitute 52.24% as a resounding political bounce back that brought to an end his Defeat Era in the County since December 2014; a mission that was accomplished on a “One Bassa Agenda” campaign led by his Political Son & Former Assistant Minister at Foreign Affairs, Adonie Z. Greaves.

The Election that was described by many as a democratic Revenge, practically turned out to have been Findley’s last political weigh-in; something that enhanced His strategies as Independent Candidate.

The Revenge Punch directed at Senator Jonathan Kaipay forcefully pushed him down the fourth Stair amongst Five Candidates, thus making his name to disappear from the NEC’ Provisional Roll call; as Ex-Superintendent and CDC Candidate Janjay Baikpeh wears second place Garment with 25,381 Votes (23.84%) and Independent Candidate Magdalene G. Harris at third place with 12,396 Votes (11.64%).

It is being analytically previewed that the Representatives elect of Districts #1 Isaac Bannie, #3 Matthew Fairplay Joe, #4 Alfred Flomo and the expected Winners of Electoral Districts #2 Clarence T. Banks and #5 Thomas Alexander Goshua are all political Confidants of Gbehzohngar Milton Findley; thus projecting Him as their Legislative Caucus Chair.

Additionally, such decision might receive the overwhelming endorsement of Grand Bassa Female Senator, Nyonblee Kangar Lawrence owing to the longstanding Friendship that exist between she and Findley as well as her Future quest to get at the Helm of the Senate’ Leadership after the Presidential Elections.

Though it remains unclear whether the return of Hon. Findley to Capitol Building will lead him to compete for the Pro-tempt position since he obtained very huge Mandate by means of the Ballot Box, but the convergence of the 55th Legislature will determine the realities in the political theater.

It is also believed that the former Foreign Minister’s over 20,000 Numerical strength (Votes) displayed in 2020 Senatorial Election against Nyonblee Kangar Lawrence served as an indicator and motivating tool for his zealous participation in this 2023 Elections.

As it stands, there has been no congratulatory statement from either of the other four Senatorial Candidates since NEC' Tuesday pronouncement.

SUPT. BAIKPEH’S PROJECTION AS SENATORIAL ASPIRANT ROCKS POLITICAL BOAT IN GRAND BASSA

BUCHANAN, JUNE 7) --- The wave of social and electronic Media debates have taken a thundering trend in Grand Bassa since the name of the County Superintendent, Janjay Ba ikpeh shockingly surfaced on the list of Senatorial Aspirants for the 2023 Elections.

The rumor mongering begun in May this year, a moment after the CDC government’ Cabinet Retreat in Buchanan City; an information that allegedly linked President Weah to a closed-door meeting reportedly held at Hotel Buchanan of which outcome allegedly suggested Baikpeh as a political force to reckon with.

Though there has been no official statement from President Weah’ Office in such regard, but social media posts and radio statements emanating from staunch loyalists to Superintendent Baikpeh and the CDC Bassa Chapter have availed reason for the public to believe the Superintendent’ participation.

Previously, the debate for the Senatorial Election was only about Ex-Minister Gbehzohngar Milton Findley, Hon. Magdalene G. Harris and the Incumbent Senator, Jonathan L. Kaipay, but Baikpeh’s inclusion has created an interweaving politics amongst propagandists and political stakeholders.

This information sprung out after months of controversy that engulfed the participation of the Superintendent in Electoral District #2 on the Coalition for Democratic Change ticket, but the new revelation could place an end to that desire.

Hon. Baikpeh who chairs the Superintendent Council of Liberia is nearing six years of service as Head of Grand Bassa Local Administration under the Weah-Taylor’s government; a position that took him closer to the citizens in the five electoral Districts.

Prior to such role, he served as Legislative Staff to Montserrado County District #8 Lawmaker, Acarous Moses Gray and also played leadership role in the Youth and Student sector as an activist while trumpeting the George Weah’s Presidential ambition throughout President Sirleaf’s two terms.

While Executives of CDC are accordingly concluding discussion on featuring a Candidate in the Senatorial race, already, some citizens have began pledging support to Baikpeh for similar purpose.

Even though some known supporters of Incumbent Senator Kaipay and former Pro-temp Findley have started releasing their political stones at Janjay Baikpeh, but other influential youth stakeholders have disclosed that Baikpeh’s participation will reflect the Youths in the race.

Particularly, the son of Grand Bassa former Superintendent [Robert H. Vonyegar], Jerry S. Vonyegar said “even if the CDC doesn’t want for our Youthful Superintendent Janjay Baikpeh to contest on its ticket, we are in the position to petition him soon to be the face of the young people in the pending Senatorial Election”.

Liberia’s second historical County [Grand Bassa] is known as the hub of the nation’ politics as being reportedly said by Ex-President William V. S. Tubman and emphasized by past immediate President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf; an attribute that has made politicking in the County so critical and crisscrossing most often.

At the same time, the Electoral District three Lawmaker, Matthew Fairplaay Joe would be caught up between the scissors if Baikpeh is selected as CDC Candidate considering that he [Joe} is the Coalition only Lawmaker in the County; though he championed the 2020 Campaign of Findley along with Janjay and built political relationship with the former Foreign Minister.

Also, Grand Bassa Fiscal Superintendent Joakai Daniel Willie as one of the Trumpeters of Gbehzohngar Findley would similarly wear an uphill decision making garment when his immediate Boss Janjay Baikpeh is chosen by their Party.

Meanwhile, latest information in the corridors of the Coalition for Democratic Change has placed Baikpeh on the advantageous side ahead of pronouncement in a week period.

NEC Holds National Stakeholders Dialogue Ahead of BVR in Buchanan for Confidence Building

Monrovia, March 1)--- In the wake of mounting concerns and anxieties over the introduction and holding of a new form of voter registration for the 2023 general and presidential elections in October, the National Elections Commission (NEC) will hold a national stakeholders’ dialogue for confidence building and continual education on the process.

The six-county Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) national stakeholders’ dialogue will take place on Friday, 3 March 2023 in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County.

The NEC, unlike previous voter registration exercises, will introduce the biometric form of registration whereby unique physical human information, as finger prints and standardized photographs, will form part of information taken during the registration, beginning in next month.

The dialogue on the biometric form of registration will set forth the platform for Liberians of all walks of life to share notes and get firsthand education on the workings and benefits of the new technology. The Commission will also use the dialogue to explain the step-by-step processes of the BVR, especially for the purposes of attracting the full participation of first-time-voters.

The two-day event, the Commission believes, will reduce the falsehoods and misconceptions currently held by some segments of the voting population in the Country. It will also provide the stage to educate the participants how complaints regarding various processes of elections are channeled, handled, and resolved.

NEC is under ethical and national obligation to educate the citizenry on the new technology, which replaces the obsolete OMR (or optical mark recognition). Unlike the OMR, the biometric system, with the taken of finger prints and standardized photographs, deduplication of the roll will be easier and faster. Hence, it will discourage double registration or unscrupulous attempts to vote more than once.

NEC therefore believes the Buchanan dialogue on Friday will enhance the fundamental intent of the migration from OMR to biometric voter registration (BVR). The NEC will conduct the BVR in two phases of six and nine counties from 20 March to 11 May. Phase one (Montserrado, Bomi, Cape Mount, Bassa, Margibi, and Gbarpolu Counties) will run from 20 march to April 9, while phase two (rest of the nine counties) begins on 21 April to 11May.

Participants of the Buchanan dialogue have been drawn from the six counties of the first phase of the BVR. Each of the Counties will be represented by and through their Civil Society Organizations, Faith Based Organizations, Women Organizations, Youth Organizations, Professional and Academic Institutions, Local and Traditional Leaders, District Commissioners, and Superintendents. Others are City Mayors/Mayoresses, Transport Unions, Political Parties and Candidates, Tri and Motor Cyclist Unions, the Liberia National Police, the Liberia Marketing Association, and Media Organizations. Members of the Board of Commissioners will be in full attendance at the Buchanan stakeholders’ dialogue on the conduct of the BVR.

MONROVIA, FEBRUARY 7) -- The Liberian Senate has received Communication from Grand Bassa Senator, Nyonblee Karnga Lawrence for swift intervention at the National Elections Commission with finger pointed to the Legal Officer of the Electoral Body, Teage Jalloh.

BSA CHAIRMAN VONYEEGAR SLIPS, TELLS SCARING LIES ABOUT LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS

BUCHANAN, FEBRUARY 2)-- Following public pressure for accountability, the Bassa Sports Association Chairman, Jerry Vonyeegar has fallen prey as he wrongly informed the citizens about reasons behind the planned Press CONFERENCE postponement.

Mr. Vonyeegar loudly revealed that his leadership could not give immediate account for the US$44 thousand received during the just climaxed 2022/2023 National County Sports Meet owing to the Legislative Caucus' mandate that the Lawmakers were "scrutinizing" the Report.

But the Legislative Caucus Chairman, Hans Barchue refuted such pronouncement on Tuesday, January 31 describing it as "Diabolical Lie", thus cautioning Jerry & his Leadership to desist.

Hon. Barchue said the BSA Head also disclosed falsehood to the public about giving US$5k to each District Lawmaker for the conduct of the District League, a persistent practice the Lawmaker caution Jerry to desist as a Young Man.

To the dismay of the Public a Day after the TUESDAY' statement of Representative Barchue, Superintendent Baikpeh forwarded the BSA' Report to the Caucus for perusal and subsequent quarry where applicable, contrary to Vonyegar's assertion that the Seven Lawmakers were already in possession of the Report.

Shockingly, the Lawmaker encouraged Kickball and Football players who participated in the SPORTING COMPETITION to file Lawsuit against the Bassa Sports Association if their stipend delay.

Since the refuting assertion of Hon. Hans Barchue, the BSA Boss Jerry has not expressed remorse publicly nor withdrawn his double accusations against the Bassa Lawmakers.

Amidst all these occurrences, the BSA has reassured citizens regrading its commitment to account for the US$44k given to the Leadership by Ministry of Youth and Sports, ArcelorMittal Liberia, Liberia Agricultural Company, Equatorial Palm Oil and other citizens.

Meanwhile, it remains unclear when the Press Conference would be held and when the players would also receive payment, considering that the Legislative Caucus has not began reviewing the Report and will similarly not approve payment until the Report is endorsed.

Breaking News!!

The Bassa Legislative Caucus Chairman, Rep Hans Barchue has instructed County Players to take the Bassa Sports Association to Court if their payment is not handled soon in accordance with contract signed.

Hon. Barchue also described as insincere and unrealistic the statement from the BSA Chairman, Jerry Vonyegar that the Caucus is scrutinizing the BSA' Report before authorizing the Sports institution to hold Press Conference.

"The BSA doesn't report to us [the Caucus] directly instead the report is made to the Superintendent before being submitted to us, adding the Caucus does not have in its possession any report as being claimed by Jerry", the District #1 Lawmaker said.

During his interview on a Local Radio [Ableejay] in the County on Tuesday morning, the Representative maintains that under his watch, the Legislative Caucus will not approve any money for the BSA until a comprehensive account is given for the US$44 thousand received from the Ministry of Youth and Sports, ArcelorMittal Liberia, LAC, EPO and other Citizens.

Prior to the Caucus Chairman' revelation, Mr. Jerry Vonyegar posted on Social Media [Facebook] that the previously arranged Press Conference was cancelled on the Advice of the Bassa Lawmakers, a statement Hans Barchue said has no nature of Truth.

It was disclosed by the Lawmaker that a formal Communication has been written by the Caucus to the Superintendent to ensure swift and timely submission of the BSA Report, mentioning that the Letter was triggered on account of Superintendent Baikpeh' absence from a previously called meeting by the Legislative Body; a forum the Superintendent sent the Fiscal Superintendent contrary to the Legislators' expectation.

"Infact, we didn't know anything about money that came in from Mittal and the Ministry of Youth and Sports until I placed call to the Ministry Authority and they told me and sent copies of all the cheques", REP. BARCHUE alarmed in his early morning voice.

BUCHANAN, JANUARY 29) --- Liberia’s loud –speaking Senator, Abraham Darius Dillon has revealed ongoing legal drafting of a Bill described as the “National Food Fund” to be presented before the Senate in February as part of Policy solution strategies in handling
the Country's Food Insecurity.

In his detailed explanation on Saturday in conversation with Manager Christopher Yarwoe, he emphasized that a reasonable tax would be levied on each Bag of Rice imported to Liberia for empowerment to the Farmers for improved Agriculture activities in the interest of Mass Food Production upon the passage of said Bill.

According to Montserrado 2020 re-elected Senator, his Colleagues Nyonblee Karnga Lawrence, Jonathan L. Kaipay and others are giving supportive arms to the compilation of the Bill that would ensure guaranteed relief to the State amidst the age old need for Food Security.

Specifically, Dillon said about twenty (20) or twenty-five (25) percent would be enshrined in the Bill tax be levied on each bag of Rice; a fund when collected, the Lawmaker said would be placed in Extrol Account before expenditure.

Dillon’s midnight appearance on Magic FM 99.3 also spotlighted the Nyonblee’s version of the Liberty Party legal pursuit before the Full Bench of the Supreme Court against Chairman Musa Bility on the endless Rift that has since caused disunity amongst Partisans of their Party.

Though the Justice in Chambers through his Opinion, has placed Musa Bility in a state of Comfort, but the Montserrado Legislator expressed Confidence that the hearing before the remaining four Justices that also include the Chief Justice will overturn the Opinionated Judgement of Justice Kabah; thus referencing legal reliances.
