Hon. Augustine B. Chiewolo Welcomes NAYMOTE-Liberia Legislative Monitoring Report, Reaffirms Commitment to Accountability and Constituency Engagement

The Office of Representative Augustine B. Chiewolo of Electoral District #5, Lofa County, acknowledges with appreciation the recently released Legislative Constituency Break Monitoring Report published by NAYMOTE Partners for Democratic Development regarding lawmakers’ engagement with citizens during the 2026 constituency break period.

The report, which assessed legislative activities across 69 electoral districts nationwide between March 19 and May 8, 2026, highlighted Representative Chiewolo’s commendable performance in several key democratic accountability areas, including regular constituency visits, the holding of town hall meetings, and the presentation of formal reports to constituents.

The Office of Representative Chiewolo is particularly encouraged that the report recognized the lawmaker’s continued efforts to remain directly connected with the people of Zorzor and Salayea Districts through face-to-face engagements, consultations, and community-centered leadership. These engagements reflect Hon. Chiewolo’s longstanding belief that effective representation must be grounded in accessibility, transparency, and meaningful dialogue with the citizens he serves.

While the report graded the lawmaker low in the area of radio appearances, the Office wishes to clarify that Representative Chiewolo has, during the period under review, participated in several radio engagements and community media discussions. However, it appears that some of those appearances may not have been fully captured within the monitoring timeline and documentation process.

Nonetheless, Representative Chiewolo accepts the findings in good faith and views the assessment as constructive feedback aimed at strengthening democratic governance and public accountability. The Office assures the people of District #5 that moving forward, greater emphasis will be placed on expanding radio and media engagement to ensure broader communication with citizens, especially those in remote communities who rely heavily on local radio as a source of public information.

Representative Chiewolo extends sincere appreciation to NAYMOTE Partners for Democratic Development for undertaking what has become one of the most comprehensive nationwide assessments of legislative constituency engagement in Liberia. Such initiatives play a vital role in deepening democracy, promoting accountability, and encouraging stronger relationships between elected officials and the citizens they represent.

The Office further reassures the people of Zorzor and Salayea that Representative Chiewolo remains unwaveringly committed to advancing their interests at the Capitol Building through effective legislation, advocacy for development, and continuous engagement with constituents.

As always, Hon. Chiewolo remains dedicated to transparent leadership, responsive governance, and the pursuit of meaningful development opportunities for the people of District #5 and Liberia at large.

Today, I will proudly join President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, government officials, local leaders, and citizens for the historic groundbreaking ceremony of the 86-kilometer Voinjama–Mendikorma Road Project in Lofa County.

This long-awaited road project represents a major step toward improving connectivity, boosting trade, creating jobs, and enhancing access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities for our people across Lofa and the Mano River region. The project forms part of the broader Western Corridor Road Development Initiative championed by President Boakai’s administration to transform Liberia’s infrastructure and regional integration.

For decades, citizens traveling between Voinjama, Kolahun, and Mendikorma have struggled with difficult road conditions, especially during the rainy season. Today’s groundbreaking signals hope, progress, and a renewed commitment to development and national inclusion. Reports indicate that the corridor is expected to improve cross-border trade, reduce travel time, lower transportation costs, and generate employment opportunities for many young Liberians.

As Representative of District #5, I remain committed to supporting initiatives that bring meaningful development to our people and improve the lives of ordinary Liberians. Together, we are building a better future for Lofa County and Liberia as a whole.

REP. AUGUSTINE B. CHIEWOLO WELCOMES GOVERNMENT’S TAKEOVER OF CAN-U AS LOFA COUNTY UNIVERSITY ANNEX-2

ZORZOR, LOFA COUNTY – Representative Augustine B. Chiewolo of Electoral District #5, Lofa County, has welcomed and praised the Government of Liberia, through Lofa County University, for the historic decision to officially take over Change Agent Network University (CAN-U) as Annex-2 of the university.

The official turnover and signing ceremony is scheduled for May 20, 2026, in Fissebu, Zorzor Administrative District, Lofa County.

Hon. Chiewolo described the development as a major breakthrough for the people of Zorzor, Salayea, Konia, and surrounding communities, noting that the initiative has been one of his key advocacy priorities at the House of Representatives.

“As lawmaker of Zorzor and Salayea District, I have consistently championed this initiative at the national level because I strongly believe that access to higher education should not be limited by distance or financial hardship,” Hon. Chiewolo stated. “Today, I am proud that the Government of Liberia, through Lofa County University, has taken this bold step to bring affordable and quality tertiary education closer to our people.”

According to the District #5 lawmaker, the annexation of CAN-U to Lofa County University will significantly ease the burden on students and families who previously had to travel long distances, especially to Voinjama and Monrovia, in pursuit of higher education opportunities.

The new annex, located in Fissebu, is expected to serve hundreds of students from Zorzor Administrative District, Salayea Administrative District, Konia, and neighboring communities who will now have greater access to accredited university education within their region.

Hon. Chiewolo further emphasized that the initiative demonstrates the importance of collaboration between government institutions, local stakeholders, and educational leaders in addressing the educational needs of rural Liberia.

He extended appreciation to the leadership of Lofa County University, the administration of CAN-U, fellow lawmakers, local authorities, and community stakeholders for their support and commitment throughout the process.

The Office of Hon. Augustine B. Chiewolo reaffirmed its commitment to supporting educational advancement and pledged continued engagement with relevant authorities to ensure the successful operationalization of the annex for the benefit of students across Lofa County.

Following the successful dedication of a modern public latrine, water tower, and borehole in Zorzor, we have now commissioned similar facilities in Salayea as part of our ongoing commitment to improving public sanitation and access to safe drinking water across District #5, Lofa County.

Yesterday, May 14, celebrated as Unification Day in Liberia, marked another significant milestone for the people of Salayea Administrative District as we officially dedicated and turned over a modern public latrine, borehole, and water facilities for public use. The occasion brought together local authorities, traditional leaders, and residents in a spirit of unity and development.

The newly dedicated facilities are expected to greatly benefit residents, students, and visitors within Salayea by improving access to safe drinking water and better sanitation services.
We extend our sincere appreciation to all those who attended and graced the event, including Commissioner Ben Golima, Salayea City Mayor Moses Vargan, chiefs from various towns, community leaders, and the many residents of Salayea who turned out in support of the initiative.
In addition to the dedication of the facilities, several essential items were provided to support the effective operation and maintenance of the project. These included a generator, tissues, brooms, soaps, and other sanitation materials intended for the upkeep and smooth functioning of the facilities.

As an initial contribution toward maintenance, a cash amount of US$100 was presented to the Office of the City Mayor. Furthermore, 50 pieces of plastic chairs were donated to the Salayea City Corporation to support community activities and public gatherings.

As we continue to represent the people of District #5, Lofa County, at the national level, we remain fully committed to advancing development initiatives and improving the living conditions of our citizens. Our focus remains on delivering impactful projects that promote health, sanitation, and sustainable community growth across the district.
