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.

District Two, Bong County – The hopes of residents of Baryarta Town in electoral District Two in Bong county who thought relief was underway with the construction of a clinic have been dashed after a businessman in Bong County, Ansu Sesay, received US$11,552 to construct a clinic, but has failed to do so for more than one year.
Sesay has also failed to begin with the construction of a major bridge linking Baryarta to the rest of the district despite receiving US$ 50, 000 from the County Social Development Funds last year. The money was proposed by delegates at the November 12, 2018 County Council Sitting.
