Dennis Garsinii Lists Causes of Disunity in B**g County

Minnesota, May 23, 2025– A son of B**g County, Dennis Garsinii, is speaking out about why people in the county are not united. He says before we can fix the problem, we must first look at what is causing it.

“Everybody is talking about how B**g County people are not united. That’s good because it’s been a problem for a long time,” Garsinii said. “But if we don’t face the real reasons, we won’t fix anything.”

He says there are seven things causing the division in the county: hate, jealousy, revenge, poverty, party politics, and the need for power and control. He called these the “Board Members” of disunity, with “control” as the head.

Garsinii said it’s a good thing to talk about peace and coming together, but it won’t work unless these bad things are removed. “We can’t bring peace if we don’t stop these things,” he added.

He is calling on all B**g County citizens to help fight these problems. “We all must try our best to remove these things that are holding us back,” he said.

Court Seizes Speaker Koon’s Properties Over $38,500 Dispute With Wife

MONROVIA – A matter involving Montserrado County District #11 Representative and Majority Bloc Speaker, Richard Nagbe Koon, has become a major public legal case, as the Debt Court in Montserrado County has ordered the seizure of his assets over a financial dispute with his wife.

The case was filed by Madam Cecelia Kpor Koon, who is seeking $38,500 in rent she says is owed to her from properties the couple jointly developed in Virginia, Montserrado County. According to a reliable source, the dispute stems from apartment buildings the couple constructed together in 2004 on land they co-purchased. The buildings—comprising five duplexes—were intended to generate income for the family.

Since 2017, the source says, the properties have been solely managed by Speaker Koon, and despite repeated requests, no rental proceeds have been shared or explained. The source further disclosed that Madam Kpor Koon has returned to Liberia from the United States to pursue the matter legally, hoping the Debt Court will ensure justice.

The same source alleges that Speaker Koon has allowed his concubines and mother-in-law to occupy the Virginia properties without the consent of his wife. Attempts by individuals sent to the premises to engage the occupants or seek eviction have reportedly been met with insults and resistance.

Additionally, the source revealed that the Majority Bloc Speaker has allegedly used threats—including threats of arrest—against journalists and individuals seeking to assess the property or inquire into the matter over the years. An eviction case involving the current occupants of the property is said to be pending at the Brewerville Magisterial Court.

In response to the complaint, the Debt Court issued a Writ of Attachment on March 31, 2024, ordering the acting sheriff to seize any valuable properties owned by Speaker Koon. These include vehicles, equipment, bank accounts, and other assets—intended to secure the amount claimed and cover any legal costs.

The source also revealed that the complainant has informed international partners, including the U.S. Embassy, about threats allegedly made against her, expressing concern for her safety.

Legal analysts say the case sends a strong message that not even high-ranking government officials are above the law. “This reflects a growing commitment to the rule of law in Liberia,” one lawyer said.

Speaker Koon has not made any public statement on the matter.

EPA Concludes Climate Learning Forum for Senators and Staffers in Grand Bassa County

(Buchana, Grand Bassa, March 23, 2025)-The Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia has concluded a three-day Climate Learning and Exchange Forum for members of the Liberian Senate and their staffers under the theme "Advancing Legislative Actions for Climate Mitigation in Liberia."

The event, which started on March 20, 2025, and ended on Saturday, March 23, 2025, was held in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, with funding from the Government of Canada through NovaSphere and the Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia.

The forum brought together senators from across Liberia and their staffers to strengthen their understanding of climate change issues and explore ways to enhance environmental policies through legislative actions.

Senate Pro Tempore Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence, delivering the closing remarks, welcomed the initiative and praised the EPA for creating a platform to educate lawmakers on climate issues. She emphasized the importance of legislative involvement in environmental protection, stressing that senators must be well-informed to shape laws that address Liberia’s climate challenges.

She said climate change is a critical issue affecting Liberia and the world and that legislative interventions must be based on knowledge and expertise. She noted that the forum provided valuable insights that will strengthen their work both at the committee level and in plenary.

She urged senators and staffers to take full advantage of the knowledge gained to improve climate-related laws and oversight responsibilities.

The Executive Director of the Environmental Protection Agency of Liberia, Dr. Emmanuel K. Urey Yarkpawolo commended the senators and their staffers for participating in the forum and underscored the importance of legislative support in advancing environmental policies.

He said the legislature plays a vital role in ensuring that Liberia adopts strong climate policies and that senators, as direct representatives of the people, have a crucial role in promoting environmental sustainability.

He reaffirmed the EPA’s commitment to working closely with lawmakers to ensure that climate issues remain a national priority. He used the occasion to thank the Government of Canada and NovaSphere for their continued support in helping Liberia address environmental challenges.

He highlighted NovaSphere’s contributions, including the establishment of a Climate Change Lab at the University of Liberia’s main campus, which is serving as a hub for research and learning on climate issues.

A major topic discussed at the forum was the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction Treaty, also known as the BBNJ Treaty, which was adopted under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

The treaty is an international agreement designed to protect marine biodiversity in areas beyond national borders and establishes mechanisms for marine protected areas, environmental impact assessments, capacity building, and the equitable sharing of marine genetic resources.

With over 64 percent of the global ocean lying beyond national jurisdiction, the BBNJ Treaty is considered a significant step in protecting marine ecosystems and strengthening international cooperation in ocean governance.

Liberia signed the BBNJ Treaty on September 24, 2024, marking a commitment to marine conservation and sustainable ocean governance.

During the forum, Joseph Charles, the BBNJ National Focal Point, and Dr. Emmanuel K. Urey Yarkpawolo provided an in-depth presentation on the treaty, discussing its global importance, its benefits for Liberia, and the next steps required for ratification.

Senators were also briefed on how the treaty aligns with Liberia’s national interests, particularly in securing equitable access to marine resources, enhancing scientific collaboration, and strengthening Liberia’s role in international environmental governance.

At the conclusion of the discussion, members of the Senate expressed strong support for the BBNJ Treaty’s ratification and provided recommendations to address gaps and challenges in the adoption process.

The EPA reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with the legislature to ensure the treaty is ratified without delay. Senators also stressed the importance of continued dialogue and stakeholder engagement to ensure informed decision-making in the legislative process.

By ratifying the treaty, Liberia aims to strengthen its marine conservation efforts, promote sustainable ocean management, enhance its international standing in environmental governance, and secure long-term benefits for coastal communities and industries reliant on marine resources.

At the end of the training, all senators, staffers, and participants received certificates of participation in recognition of their engagement and commitment to advancing climate action.

The EPA and lawmakers have pledged to continue working together to implement policies that safeguard Liberia’s natural resources and protect future generations from the impacts of climate change.

Parker Family Launches Foundation to Honor Late Son Julius K. Parker Jr.

(Sunday, January 25, 2025, Indianapolis, IN) – On Saturday, January 25, 2025, the Parker family of Indiana, United States, officially launched the Julius K. Parker Jr. Lending Hand Foundation, Inc. in honor of their late son, Julius K. Parker Jr. The ceremony, held at FLIZPSTYLZE Entertainment Events and Promotions on Crawfordsville Road, drew family, friends, and community members from across the country.

The foundation was established to carry forward the vision and values of Julius, a vibrant 19-year-old whose life was tragically cut short by gun violence in January 2024. Despite the heartache of his passing, the Parker family is determined to turn their grief into action by continuing his mission of helping underprivileged children and promoting educational empowerment.

In her emotional opening remarks, Mrs. Sonie Parker, Julius Jr.’s mother, welcomed attendees with grace and strength.
“I promised myself not to be too emotional today,” she said. “I wish this was a graduation party. I wish this was his wedding. Unfortunately, this is where we are. But I know where there has been darkness, God will give us the strength to shine light.”

Mrs. Parker spoke of the enduring love she has for her late son and her commitment to honoring his memory. “Julius had such a big heart, always thinking of others. I will carry him in my heart until my last breath. This program is for a worthy cause, and I thank you all for being here to celebrate his legacy.”

The keynote speaker, Mr. Anthony Beverly, Founder of “Stop the Violence in Indianapolis,” delivered a powerful message titled “Hiding Pain in Plain Sight.” He commended the Parker family for turning their tragedy into a mission of hope and urged the community to remain united in the fight against violence.

“When I was asked to speak tonight, I was hesitant,” Beverly admitted. “But I knew this was important. Since Julius’ death, this community has come together in ways we’ve never seen before. Unity is our greatest strength, and we must continue to stand together—not just to seek justice for Julius but to denounce all forms of violence in our neighborhoods.”

He emphasized that the power to create change lies within the community, encouraging everyone to be proactive in supporting the foundation’s mission and advocating for peace.

Julius K. Parker Sr., the father of the late Julius Jr., shared heartfelt memories of his son and the dreams he held dear. “His passion was always to help others, especially children who didn’t have the opportunities he had,” he said.

Julius Jr. dreamed of returning to Liberia, his family’s homeland, to uplift vulnerable children through education and mentorship. “He wanted to assess the needs of children back home and find ways to make a difference. That was his heart—giving back,” Mr. Parker Sr. added.

The Parker family’s commitment to preserving Julius’ legacy has already begun to make an impact. In December 2024, Mr. Parker Sr. traveled to Liberia to officially register the foundation and assess the challenges facing schools in the country.

He witnessed firsthand the dire conditions in Montserrado County schools, where students lack basic supplies and proper seating, and teachers struggle with inadequate training and resources. These observations have inspired the foundation’s initial focus on providing school supplies, financial aid, and professional development opportunities for educators.

The Julius K. Parker Jr. Lending Hand Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to empowering underprivileged children and improving access to education in Liberia. By addressing systemic challenges in the educational sector, the foundation seeks to transform lives and fulfill Julius’ vision of creating opportunities for future generations.

“Through this foundation, Julius’ light continues to shine,” said Mr. Parker Sr. “We hope to inspire others to join us in this mission, ensuring that his dream lives on.”

Julius K. Parker Jr. was more than a son and friend; he was a beacon of hope and inspiration. A talented musician, wrestler, and football player, Julius pursued his dream of becoming a psychiatrist at Ball State University. His compassion and discipline touched everyone he encountered, and his unwavering faith in God guided his actions.

Though his life was tragically cut short, Julius’ legacy endures through the foundation that bears his name. For the Parker family, this journey is not just about honoring their son but about turning pain into purpose and creating a brighter future for the children of Liberia.
