MONROVIA – Senator Varney Sherman (UP-Grand Cape Mount County) has expressed fears that his bid for re-election could be rejected by citizens of the county due to failure by the Executive Branch of Government to remit to the county money paid by Western Cluster and other companies as social development funds. According to the lawmaker, it has been more than three years the county is yet to realise any amount from the Executive Branch of Government, through the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, to the county for development purposes. The amount in question is in the tone of US$5 million for counties covering the Western belt, including Grand Cape Mount, Bomi, and Gbarpolu countries. To add insults to injuries, Senator Sherman is sanctioned by the US Treasury Department with all his finances seized. Varney H. Sherman – Cape Mount, Sen. Edward B. Dagoseh – Cape Mount, Sen. Morris Saytumah – Bomi, Sen. George Tengbeh – Lofa, Sen. Thomas Grupee – Nimba, Sen. Alphonso Gaye – Grand Gedeh, Sen. Matthew Jaye – River Gee and Sen. Milton Teahjay – Sinoe.
