Liberia: District Five Residents Hail Rep. Kollie for Delivering on Campaign Promises in Bong County

SUAKOKO — With less than sixty days after formally taking office, Bong County District#5 Representative, Eugine Kollie, is said to be showing positive signs that could make his District a nearly no-go zone in 2029.

Hon. Kollie, a former phone repairer, came to power with a promise to bring back the dividends of democracy to the district, considering the fact that he once endured every little challenge facing citizens of the District.

Before his ascendency, Rep. Kollie is on record for providing tuition aid for hundreds across the district, empowering women, building schools and town halls among others.

Since his election and subsequent induction into the 55th Legislature, Rep. Kollie has made several noteworthy strides aimed at living up to his promise.

Hundreds are currently benefiting  from his tuition aid initiative at various high schools and universities, while several young people of the district have received employment opportunities and some expected to travel abroad in the coming months.
