Residents of the district are reportedly encroaching on the Sarpo lands, an act, residents claimed has the propensity to fuel ethnic conflict. The bill, sponsored by Sinoe County Senator J. Milton Teahjay, which seeks to amend the Act creating the Seekon Statutory District in Sinoe County, was approved by the Senate and is currently awaiting concurrence by the House. “The referenced areas included Plandialebo and Tugba towns, which Sen. Teahjay claimed are the 100 per cent Sarpo-owned towns and land. However, those efforts proved futile to the subsequent creation of the Seekon Statutory District in 2005. Meanwhile, when contacted the sponsor of the bill, Sen. Teahjay blamed Rep. Zarzar for orchestrating the petition, and said Zarzar is an agent of confusion and chaos in Sinoe County.
