From crying to laughter,
the citizens of Karyata welcomed and appreciated Hon. J Marcus Kimbo for the provision of safe drinking water for them through the construction of hand pumps.

On August 24, 2024, the long-awaited dream of Karyata Township residents for access to safe drinking water became a reality. The Kimbo Foundation, led by the dynamic young humanitarian Hon. J. Marcus Kimbo, took a monumental step by constructing a brand new hand pump and repairing four others, bringing much-needed relief to the community. This initiative marks a significant milestone in District #3 and B**g County's history, as it addresses one of the most pressing needs of the residents.

Hon. Kimbo's unwavering commitment to improving the lives of his people through the Kimbo Foundation is commendable. His efforts have not only provided clean water but have also inspired hope and trust in humanitarian initiatives across the district. The Karyata community is deeply grateful for this life-changing project, which will undoubtedly enhance the health and well-being of its inhabitants.

Breaking!!
Kamara quits the Finance Ministry!!!!

Highly placed sources have confirmed that Liberia's Finance Minister Boima Kamara has resigned, citing health issues.

Though health reasons have been cited as the cause for relinquishing the top job at the Finance Ministry, others have hinted at a lack of confidence from President Boakai, in Kamara’s handling of the Ministry.

He is the second Minister to have resigned from the Boakai-Koung administration within its first six months.

During the early days of the administration, now NSA Boss Rtd. Major General Prince C. Johnson III resigned from his position as National Defense Minister after a sustained protest by women believed to be wives and dependents of soldiers.

There hasn’t been any official confirmation or announcement from the Executive Mansion as of now.

Liberia will have to spend USD $ 2.9 million to procure vehicles for all 73 Representatives at USD 45k each.
Liberians have expressed mixed views about the purchase of vehicles for Lawmakers, some say the money should be used to buy public buses, trucks for city corporations, farm equipment among others, while others are saying it is their entitlement and they must get the new vehicles .
