See, time and time again, we get news in Maryland sometimes when it
becomes old news. This is because we find ourselves deep in the keyhole
and belly of the southeastern region of the country where nothing gets
there on time and we are separated from the nation six months every year
in the Rainy Season. But all the same, whether or not the news becomes
old, we still get it and we carefully process it.
But in recent time, since the new government came to power, nothing is being heard on Maryland County (Liberia) in terms of leadership appointments. Nobody knows if we are going to have a new superintendent or retention is the magic word.
In Maryland, currently, almost all the officials are in Monrovia, the nation's capital where the "scramble" for jobs is ongoing. So, who's running the county? No superintendent, no assistant Supt., no Mayor... It's a free fall situation. For who bucks it takes the free rope as the kids used to say!
President Weah needs to get on the Ball right now. Maryland has no leadership in place. The Administration Building is empty every day. It seems as though no one is sure of himself anymore. And so there is a nonchalant attitude in the County on the part of the leaders and sometimes the people.
Something must be done!
But not just anything!
The news we are hearing is disturbing.
Retention?
How can one retain someone who served in local government for more then eight years and handled most of the county's money without submitting a single financial report? And at the same time launched a serious political persecution of citizens who desired to join other political parties of their choice, as if he would remain in power forever.
We are using this medium to call on Dr. Chambers not to do what we are hearing he wants to do: retain the Assistant Superintendent for Development. If he does, Maryland will become a hot seat.
Finally, we look forward to hearing from George Weah as to who runs Maryland as soon as possible before highway robbers deplete collected taxes!
