BONG: Bong county is expected to allocate 150 thousand for Reconciliation purposes in the county. The announcement was made at a formal gathering in Bong County at Serengeti guest house owned by former Senator Dr. Henrique Flomo Tokpah.

Former Agriculture Minister and prominent son of Bong County, Dr. Mogana S. Flomo Jr was designated at the meeting to lead the formation of the County’s Reconciliation. The County’s Reconciliation is meant to unite citizens and political leaders in the county according to Bong County Caucus Chair Sen. Prince Kermue Moye and Superintendent Loleyah Hawa Norris.

According to Sen Moye, the first 150 thousand United States Dollars will be put up front  taken from  the county’s account as initiation funding to empower the committee to effectuate its mandates further charging Dr. Flomo with the responsibility to engage every sector of the county, including religious communities, traditional leaders, the youthful populace, and every citizen, to dialogue and recommend ways forward to achieving this initiative.

He said individual politicians funding the Reconciliation could undermine the purposes reason for which the county’s leadership is funding the process from the county’s account.

Political observers have expressed varying opinions about his capacity to lead this reconciliation effort, especially in light of ongoing rivalries and the skepticism directed toward certain political figures. As Bong County embarks on this reconciliation journey, the success of the initiative will hinge on the willingness of all stakeholders to transcend their personal ambitions and unify for the well-being of the county. Healing deep-seated wounds and fostering trust in a politically charged environment requires patience, understanding, and a commitment to inclusivity.

 The community’s resilience and shared desire for peace will ultimately guide the reconciliation efforts, as citizens rally around the common goal of unity in Bong County. Only time will tell if Dr. Flomo can bridge these divides, but his efforts will certainly be closely monitored by both supporters and critics alike, as the future of Bong County hangs in balance. Dr. Flomo, in his acceptance statement, appreciated the county’s leadership for reposing confidence in him to lead the way, with a promise to engage every sector and those greatly considered as figures responsible for the county’s status. He then called on every citizen to put aside their political differences to support the efforts of the reconciliation process.

On a significant day of April 6, 2025, in Gbarnga, the Bong Legislative Caucus, in collaboration with local authorities, including Superintendent Loleyah Hawa Norris, announced the formation of the Bong County Reconciliation Committee, led by Dr. Mogana S. Flomo Jr., a prominent figure in the region’s political landscape.
