Kokoyah District, Bong County – Not a single project will be dedicated during president George Mannah Weah’s three-day tour of Bong county despite his government dishing out a whopping US$ 1.8 million in Social Development Funds to fund projects from January 2018 to January 2021.
Though the Executive Mansion says the president’s visit to the county is “aimed at interacting with citizens and not to dedicate projects,” the reality is nothing substantial has been achieved from the Social Development Funds in Bong since Weah became president three years ago.

Gbarnga – Since January 2018 to January 2021, the government has disbursed US$ 1.8 million to Bong county through the Social Development Funds to fund 13 projects, but so far only one project has been completed – the renovation of the headquarters of the Group of 77 in Gbarnga.
The remaining 12 projects, according to Steve Mulbah, chairman of the county’s Project Management Committee, are on hold because the county doesn’t have the money to complete those projects.
“Right now the county doesn’t have money to complete the remaining 12 projects across the county,” Mulbah said, saying: “I am not optimistic whether those projects would be completed when the county gets money from government.”
