KAKATA—Margibi County Unity Party (UP) officials from across the five electoral districts, including district officials, former legislative candidates, women and youth Congresses and other stakeholders, have reaffirmed their support through a resolution for the recent nominated local government officials of Margibi County by President Joseph Nyuma BoaKai and urged the Liberian Senate to conduct their confirmation hearings. Boakai recently nominated the Margibi County Development Officer, Administrative Officer, Finance Officer, City Mayors, Districts and Townships Commissioners and submitted their names to the Liberian Senate for subsequent confirmations. The Margibi’s UP officials expressed the belief that there are still some local government positions in Margibi to which the Pres. Boakai has not made any nominations, adding that those protesting could be considered for those local government positions not yet occupied. The UP officials: “If those nominated are not confirmed by the Liberian Senate; the efforts being exerted will make the Unity Party ill-relevant in the body politics of the County since it doesn’t have representation on the Margibi Legislative Caucus and the local government leadership of the County and if those nominated are not confirmed”.
