He indicated that he will also establish free technical and vocational education for Liberian children in order to reduce the unskill workforce in society, something he said is triggered due to the increasing number of motorcycle riders across the country.
” The government will provide all the textbooks, school fees, and everything. That is the free education we will provide. All children will go to school and no child will be left behind. It’s also possible that those children whose parents can’t afford are our scientists and doctors that will invent for us. Under my administration, all Liberians will know how to read and write in two years. That will be done by giving financial stamping to all grand school students who will make sure that they teach at least ten people who are illiterate in their Community” he stated.
Cllr. Gongole noted that under his administration he will make Liberia a corruption-free country by ensuring that every government officials are accountable for their actions and bear the responsibility thereof.
” Under my administration, we will have a more robust corruption fight. People will be sent to jail and punished for their actions. Nobody will go free when they are caught in corruption.
