Gbarnga City, Bong County - Mr. Jesse B. Cole the Lead Human Rights defender of the Delta Human Rights Foundation says he's contemplating on contesting as Representative in Bong's electoral district #3 once his assessment is completed.
Jesse B. Cole, fomer Regional Coordinator of the Catholic Justice and Peace Commission (JPC) and now Lead Human Rights defender of the Delta Human Rights Foundation said, once his assessment shows that bulk of the eligible voters residing in electoral district #3 wants him to contest for the district lawmaking post he will have no other choice but to swiftly respond to their called.
"Legislative power is the people's power, if the people decide to vote me into power, I will have no regrets to serve my people" the Delta Boss said.
The recent post on his official page under the caption "FACTS IF JESSE B COLE BECOME A LAWMAKER OF BONG COUNTY DISTRICT 3", comments section clearly suggests that the human rights advocate intend to venture into politics very soon.
Mr. Jesse B. Cole post on his Official page spike-off mixed views amongst his facebook followers/friends.
Gbanyan Sumo, who is one his followers/friends on facebook made these comments:
"It will be a good representation because of the deeper understanding he has of governance".
While Morris A F Keita also wrote the following lines in the comment section:
"As for me, I don't want you to join politics. Please for God's sake continue our advocacy"
This is how Mr. Cole responded to Morris A F Keita comments:
"Morris A F Keita i been in politics long since. The advocacy is politics".
Both Morris A F Keita and CoachJesse Cole responded to each other back and forth in the comments section:
Morris A F Keita: "CoachJesse Cole Yes, that is true, but what happens is that, when some people get elected immediately the advocacy stop. You being a representative will be a blessing if the advocacy continue the same way".
CoachJesse Cole: "Morris A F Keita u have to help me continue to engage me to do the right thing".
Morris A F Keita: "CoachJesse Cole i will always stand by whoever wants to see our county prosper".
In a chat with reporters recently in Gbarnga, Mr. Cole averred, that as social worker there are separate ways he usually conduct assessments and as such the social media (Facebook) is one of the major mediums of far-striking his political assessment and in the soonest possible time he will be commuting to parts of electoral district 3 to further his assessment.
"Man by nature is a political animal, I have been a political figure over the years but currently I'm a non-partisan" He averred.
He continued: My political quest will help expand or bring to fruition our many advocacies because we (CSOs) are doing the work of lawmakers oweing to the fact that most of them doesn't understand the workings of the House of Representatives".
Mr. Cole noted, during his ascendency into the House of Representatives he will make sure that power be given back to the common people and will create a avenue for them to have a say in decision making processes.
He then, frowned at citizens who sing songs of glorification to people who squandered tax-payers monies in order to earned their living.
"See the song that people were singing this few days in Gbarnga 'You waysay papa, You waysay papa oooo, You waysay, You waysay papa... These songs are meant to glorified God not men who continue to misused their own money" He demonstrated.
The tough talking human rights advocate explains that it's about time qualified and patriotic Liberians stand up for the right thing and desist from being silent on issues that have the propensity of impeding the growth and development of Liberia.
He named, the misdiversion of the National Road Fund for two fiscal years (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020), which amounted to millions of dollars on fuel levies paid by motorists for the maintenance and rehabilitation of roads in Liberia and the constant misused of tax-payers monies by some CDC lawmakers and executive members as paramount issues needed to be accurately address by Liberians.
He further emphasized that of recent Rep. Cole and other high ranking government officials splashed over $2 billion Liberian dollars in Gbarnga, thus heavily questioning the source of said money.
Cole, agued that the Central Bank of Liberia recently infused a new family of bank note series starting with $4 billion worth of $100 notes and if $2 billion Liberian dollars can be spent just in a day by a group of top Cdicians he sees it as lies and mere political tactics already checks disbursed has reportedly began to bounce back making it uneasy for the people to cash out the check that were distributed by Rep. Cole and others.
Meanwhile, back in 2018 speculation aroused that Mr. Jesse B. Cole and his compatriot Aaron G. V. JuahKollie had political ambitions when they installed pieces of solar lights in the corridors of Gbarnga City, a project that most people felt was intended to defaced Rep. Cole after he had pledge to provide solar lights for the people of District 3 and Gbarnga City by extension during the 2017 election.
During the campaign in 2017, Rep. Cole promised to make available 200 solar lights to make Gbarnga and District 3 a bright place, especially during the night hours.
But it took nearly two years for the lawmaker to fulfilled his campaign promise to his constituents over his failure of providing the solar lights in his first one hundred days as promised.
