Protesters Halt Nyorwein Operations Over Alleged Mismanagement and Demand Transparency

Protesters in Nyorwein District demonstrated against alleged financial secrecy and political manipulation by county authorities, accusing Superintendent Byron Zahnwea of mismanaging Plank Committee toll funds and favoring loyalists.

The demonstration, involving elders, youth, and Unity Party supporters, has halted Plank Toll Committee operations as protesters demand transparency and formation of an independent financial oversight body.

Tensions rose when protesters rejected county officials and insisted on meeting Superintendent Zahnwea directly, leading to chaos during the arrival of Mayor Mark Moton and Dennis Seboe.

Reports say Elijah Sammie, Secretary of the Plank Committee, was allegedly manhandled amid the unrest, heightening calls for accountability within Rivercess County’s local administration.

Protesters demand budget revisions, redirection of sports funds to infrastructure, and a full presidential investigation, warning demonstrations could expand if authorities ignore their concerns.

Lofa County Senator Momo T. Cyrus has donated a 43-inch Android Smart TV, forty-five plastic chairs, and a KVA Yamaha generator to the Wologizi Intellectual Forum.

The donation, made in Voinjama City, supports the forum’s transition from analog to digital engagement in promoting educational and civic discussions across Lofa County.

Senator Cyrus said the contribution fulfills an earlier promise to strengthen the institution’s national relevance and encourage informed community participation through modern technology.

The request for digital equipment was initially made by forum chairman Arthur Kowah, now serving as Chief of Office Staff in the senator’s office.

The senator urged young people to use the forum to engage government leaders constructively, promoting accountability and development through intellectual discourse.

‎The conference, themed “Digitization-Empowered Value Chain,” was organized by China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to enhance trade collaboration and promote technology-driven farming innovations among partner nations.
‎
‎According to a release from the Agriculture Ministry, the engagement reflects a strengthened relationship between Liberia and China, creating new opportunities for Liberia’s agricultural advancement.
‎
‎A major outcome of the visit was the agreement to renew the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Agriculture and Yuan Longping Agriculture Corporation.

‎Once legal and financial arrangements are finalized, Yuan Longping will resume operations in Liberia, focusing on seed multiplication, agricultural research, and mechanized farming initiatives.
‎
‎The release disclosed that logistical challenges, including poor road access and delayed chemical supplies, previously hindered progress; however, Minister Nuetah promised improved project sites like B**g Mines.
‎
‎Yuan Longping has long supported Liberia’s agricultural sector through the China Agricultural Technology Demonstration Center at CARI, Suakoko, a vital hub for hybrid rice research and innovation.
