Monrovia – Maryland County District Three Representative, Isaac B. Roland has cautioned the newly confirmed local officials of the county to work collaboratively with national government to promote the Coalition for Democratic Change’s pro-poor agenda.
Addressing the newly appointed and confirmed local officials over the weekend in Monrovia, Rep. Roland urged them not to depend on national government alone for community development instead the community dwellers themselves should stand for development in their respective towns and villages.
The Maryland County lawmaker noted that the development of the district under the CDC led government will only be possible if the locals themselves stand for development.
He congratulated the local officials on their preferment by President George Weah, customarily presenting kola nuts to them as a sign of his good will gesture and best wishes in their respective portfolios.
He vowed to work with the local officials in transforming the district and the county at large.
“I am proud to say that I have a team that I am going to work with to champion the cause of the people. And the CDC’s Pro Poor Agenda will make the difference and work in the interest of the people. I can guarantee you that I will work with you to raise the bar and improve the lives of our people,” he pledged.
The local officials at the gathering include Gbarjulu Toe, Superintendent, Barrobo Statutory Disterict, Alphanso Davis, Development Superintendent, Karluway Statutory District and Blayon Wesseh, City Mayor of Glofaken City among others.
In response, the officials commended the lawmaker for identifying with them, nothing that Rep. Roland’s actions demonstrate his desire to work with them to improve their district and county at large.
