The Honorable House of Representatives (HOR) has tasked its joint committee on Judiciary, Internal Affairs, Ways, Means, and Finance with reviewing three proposed bills aimed at creating the townships of Kamatahun, Massabolahun, and Lenbagba within the Wanhassa and Tengia Administrative Districts of Lofa County.
In a statement released by the House’s Press Bureau on Monday, September 16, the decision to review these bills follows a formal communication from District Representative Julie Fatorma Wiah.
Representative Wiah emphasized that the establishment of these townships will significantly enhance both political and socio-economic development in Lofa County, particularly in District 2. She highlighted that the new townships would facilitate better governance and create job opportunities, while also providing the government with additional resources.
The joint committee is expected to deliver its report within one week, paving the way for further legislative action on this important initiative.
