Bong County — March 27, 2026 — Bong County Senator Prince Kermue Moye, Sr. has officially launched a county-wide tour during the current legislative break, aimed at bringing leadership closer to the people while delivering direct support to local communities.

The tour began in Yellequelleh Administrative District (Electoral District #5), where Senator Moye, accompanied by District #5 Representative Eugine J.M. Kollie, engaged citizens to listen to their concerns and identify key development priorities.

During the visit, the Senator announced and provided several forms of assistance targeting road maintenance, education, healthcare, community development, as well as women and youth empowerment.

As part of efforts to improve road access, Senator Moye provided US$2,000 and L$100,000 to the Drivers’ Union to support the maintenance of the Gbartala–Fonetoli Road and to help equip the union’s office.

To strengthen local leadership and coordination, the Senator also committed four motorcycles to community leaders in Garyea Clan, enabling them to enhance community coordination and outreach activities.

In support of rural electrification, 50 high-powered solar lights were donated to several towns and villages in the district. The initiative is expected to improve security while also encouraging nighttime economic activities.

The Senator further donated 30 bags of rice and L$50,000 to support ongoing rehabilitation work on the Jorkeh Town Road, while 30 bags of cement were provided to help complete the Jorkeh Town Public School building.

As part of efforts to strengthen healthcare services, Senator Moye pledged additional training opportunities for midwives to improve maternal and community health services across the district. He also allocated L$30,000 to assist midwives with transportation as they carry out their duties.

In support of citizen participation during the engagement, L$100,000 was provided to assist residents with transportation to attend the gathering.

Women in the district also benefited from the visit. Senator Moye provided L$50,000 to assist market women with transportation and pledged vocational training opportunities aimed at strengthening their economic activities.

Youth development was also highlighted during the engagement, as the Senator announced vocational training programs for motorcyclists across Yellequelleh District to help improve their skills and livelihoods.

Additionally, the Senator pledged zinc and other building materials to support the construction of a town hall in Gonovo Town, a project expected to serve as a central meeting place for community activities and discussions.

Senator Moye’s county-wide tour is expected to continue across Bong County, with the next engagement scheduled for Sunday in Electoral District #4. The tour aims to provide citizens the opportunity to directly engage their Senator while addressing key development needs in their communities.
