Residents say they are concerned over the growing circulation of unregulated substances in the city, which continue to pose risks to public health and safety.

This is a developing story, and further details will be provided as they become available.

Garbage Crisis Worsens on Broad Street as Gbarnga Authorities Fail to Deliver on Promises

By Allen Woah

The garbage pile along Broad Street in Gbarnga has grown into a full-blown crisis, raising alarm among residents and business owners who say the situation has been made worse by repeated failures of city authorities to act.

The unsanitary heap, which continues to expand daily, has become a symbol of neglect in the heart of B**g’s capital city. Despite earlier promises from the Gbarnga City Corporation (GCC) to swiftly address the problem, no tangible action has been taken, and the foul stench now hangs thick over the area.

The issue was first spotlighted weeks ago by Super B**gese Radio, which captured the frustrations of locals and vendors. Residents expressed fears of disease outbreaks, while shopkeepers complained of losing customers who can no longer bear the unpleasant environment. At the time, GCC’s sanitation department admitted the problem and pledged a prompt cleanup.

But those commitments have yet to materialize. On September 13, a follow-up visit showed not only that the trash remained untouched, but that it had grown larger—inviting swarms of flies and even rodents. The rainy season has further aggravated the conditions, fueling concerns about cholera, malaria, and other health risks.

Sanitation Unit head John Forkpah had reassured the public last week that cleanup operations were being organized and preventive measures would follow. That statement briefly raised community hopes, but residents now accuse city authorities of “talking without action.”

The failure of the Gbarnga City Corporation to deliver on its word has put the credibility of local leadership under question. Citizens are now demanding immediate intervention to clear the waste and a long-term waste management plan to prevent a recurrence.

Until then, Broad Street one of Gbarnga’s busiest arterie remains both an eyesore and a public health threat, reflecting the city’s mounting struggle with basic sanitation.

Liberia’s National Convention Center Project Takes Off in Suakoko, B**g County

By Allen Woah

The Government of Liberia has begun laying the groundwork for the construction of a National Convention Center in Suakoko District, B**g County, following a critical assessment of the 50-acre land earmarked for the project.

The assessment was carried out by the Presidential Taskforce on the Convention Center, headed by the Director General of the General Services Agency (GSA), Galakpa Kotima. The taskforce has instructed the Liberia Land Authority (LLA) to expedite surveys and finalize deeds and other legal documentation to ensure the project’s smooth progression.

Once the documentation process is complete, the Ministry of Public Works is expected to begin site clearing and other preparatory works.

The taskforce is comprised of key government stakeholders, including B**g County Superintendent Madam Loleyah Hawa Norris, Deputy Minister for Administration at the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning Hon. Bill McGill Jones, GSA Director General Hon. Galapai Kortimai, and representatives from the Ministries of Public Works, Internal Affairs, and other agencies.

The National Convention Center is envisioned as a landmark venue for national and international events, conferences, and exhibitions. Authorities say the project will not only support Liberia’s cultural and social development but also promote economic growth through job creation, investment opportunities, and increased local economic activity.

Additionally, the center is expected to serve as a hub for cultural exchange, knowledge sharing, and networking, enhancing Liberia’s reputation as a destination for international gatherings.

Officials believe the project, once completed, will mark a significant step in the country’s infrastructure development and contribute to its long-term economic and social transformation.

LDEA OIC Vows Tougher Action on Drugs in B**g County

GBARNGA, B**G COUNTY – The Officer-in-Charge of the Liberia Drugs Enforcement Agency (LDEA), Fitzgerald T. M. Biago, says the fight against drug trafficking and abuse will be taken to a tougher level, beginning with B**g County.

Speaking to reporters in Gbarnga on Thursday, September 12, Biago announced that the LDEA, along with the county’s joint security and the office of Superintendent Lolea Norris, will officially launch a “No Big Drugs” campaign on September 15.

According to him, the campaign will target trafficking routes, drug hotspots, and raise public awareness about the dangers of narcotics.

“We are working with the police, immigration, and other security agencies to track down dealers. Either you are with us or against us. We will not tolerate officers aiding or abetting drug traffickers,” Biago warned.

He revealed that reforms are ongoing at the LDEA, including random drug testing of its own officers. “We want the public to have confidence in us. Officers must be clean and professional if we are to win this war,” he said.

Biago urged residents of B**g County to support the campaign by reporting suspicious activities, stressing that the fight against drugs cannot be won without the help of communities.

“Together, we can protect our young people from drugs and build safer communities,” he concluded.

"No Ebola in Liberia” – MOH Confirms Suspected Case Tested Negative

MONROVIA – The Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed that Liberia is free of the Ebola virus after laboratory results ruled out a suspected case involving the body of a Turkish national transported from Maryland County to Nimba.

The deceased, who reportedly showed symptoms consistent with Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF), raised public concern of a possible Ebola resurgence. Earlier this week, Health Minister Dr. Louise Kpoto issued a memo directing county health teams in Maryland, River Gee, Grand Gedeh, and Nimba to place contacts of the deceased under observation, strengthen surveillance, and reactivate emergency protocols pending test results.

On Thursday, the Ministry announced that tests returned negative for Ebola. “We can confirm that the suspected case tested negative for Ebola. There is no Ebola virus in Liberia at this time,” the Ministry stated in Nimba County.

The news has calmed fears across communities, particularly in the southeast, where residents had begun taking extra precautions such as frequent handwashing, using sanitizers, and reducing travel.

The Ministry praised the public for complying with preventive measures and encouraged citizens to remain vigilant by reporting suspicious illnesses.

The brief scare comes as a reminder of the 2014 Ebola outbreak that devastated West Africa, killing more than 11,000 people, including over 4,800 in Liberia.

Health authorities say while this suspected case tested negative, preparedness and community alertness remain critical in safeguarding the country against future outbreaks.
