Suakoko, Bong County – In a remarkable display of leadership, Honorable Eugine Kollie, who assumed office in the 55th Legislature, is already leaving an indelible mark on Bong County’s political landscape. The former phone repairer turned legislator has swiftly translated his promises into action, positioning his district for a transformative future.
Empowering Education and Opportunities
Before his election, Rep. Kollie was known for his commitment to education. He provided tuition aid to hundreds of students across the district, ensuring that young minds had access to quality learning. Since taking office, he has continued this legacy, with hundreds currently benefiting from his tuition aid initiative at various high schools and universities. Additionally, several young people from the district are expected to travel abroad for further studies, thanks to Rep. Kollie’s efforts.
Scholarships and Welfare Advocacy
Rep. Kollie is not only investing in education but also advocating for scholarships. His engagement with the administration of Cuttington University in Suakoko aims to provide educational opportunities for citizens who aspire to higher education but lack the means. Furthermore, at the Central Agriculture Research Institute (CARI), Rep. Kollie is championing improved welfare for unskilled workers. His oversight responsibilities include revisiting policies to ensure fair treatment for employees.
A Vocal Advocate in the Legislature
As Chairman of the House’s Committee on Lands, Mines, Natural Resources, and Environment, Rep. Kollie has emerged as a logically vocal figure. He fearlessly addresses national issues and recommends practical solutions. Recently, he led a delegation of House members to Kinjor in Grand Cape Mount County, defusing tensions between citizens and the Turkish Mining Company, Bea Mountain. Tragically, three lives were lost during the protests, but Rep. Kollie’s intervention aimed to prevent further violence.
Holding Institutions Accountable
Rep. Kollie’s commitment extends beyond his district. He addressed concerns in Fuamah District, Bong County, regarding China Union’s non-compliance operations in Bong Mines. His actions demonstrate a dedication to serving the people and ensuring accountability.
Summoning Dr. Victor Sumo
Recently, Rep. Kollie petitioned the Honorable House of Representatives to summon Dr. Victor Sumo, Director of the Central Agriculture Research Institute (CARI). Dr. Sumo faces allegations of diverting essential materials and equipment from CARI, including two 40ft containers, one long fuel tank, seven cars, two tractors, six generators, 30 pieces of power tiller brackets, 260 pieces of profile iron, and a car washing machine. Rep. Kollie seeks clarity on these allegations, emphasizing transparency and accountability.
Women’s Empowerment and Future Prospects
Rep. Kollie’s commitment to women’s empowerment is evident. He has already made over 1 million Liberian dollars available to businesswomen. Additionally, rumors suggest that a substantial 30 million Liberian dollar loan will soon be announced, further benefiting the community.
As Rep. Kollie continues to make waves, his constituents eagerly anticipate the positive changes he will bring to Bong County District #5. His tireless efforts and dedication to service are shaping a promising future for the region.
