Margibi County—Prominent stakeholders of Margibi County have voiced their disapproval of the President Pro-Tempore of the Liberian Senate (Senator, Grand Bassa County) Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence’s recent decision to reportedly revert the earlier appointments of Margibi County local officials made by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai. Boakai on April 23, 2024, nominated several sons and daughters of Margibi County to complete the county local administration nominations including the County Development Officer, County Administrative Officer, County Finance Officer, City Mayors, Districts, and Township Commissioners, among many others. The move has ignited widespread anger and frustration among local residents and leaders who perceive it as unwarranted interference in Margibi County’s affairs. Pro-Tempore Karnga-Lawrence who hails from Grand Bassa County has faced backlash for what many see as overstepping her boundaries by intervening in the governance of Margibi County. The Patriotic Rescuers of Margibi therefore thank the President, His Excellency Joseph N. Boakai for nominating these bright minds to spearhead the activities of the local government of Margibi County”.
