A long standing boundary dispute between Gbarpolu and Bong counties in central Liberia has prevented several eligible voters from carrying out their voter registration, the Daily Observer has reliably learnt. Some of those being denied from the VR process are people mainly from Gbarpolu and other counties that are residing in the Jungle James’ Camp and other mining villages around the county borderline with Bong. When a National Elections Commission (NEC) officer assigned in Gbarpolu County, Kollie Lamanadan, visited the area to verify the truth, he confirmed the situation. Upon hearing the news, the County Superintendent dispatched a team of journalist to the area. On their way, the journalists met a traditional devil on the highway preventing people from traveling to Weama to register.
