give every district an opportunity of exercising leadership in the county.

Delivering the keynote address at the induction ceremony of officers of the Jeadepo Development Council (JDC) at the D. Twe Memorial High School recently, G. Nagbae Saylee said “this will avoid lopsided distribution of the county’s resources.”

Saylee noted that members of the Sinoe Legislative Caucus should use their leverage with the executive in the selection of the next Sinoe County Superintendent so that the opportunity is given to a district, segment or tribe that has never produced a superintendent since the inception of the county.

Saylee, a son of Jeadepo, said ensuring that the superintendent position goes to a segment or tribe has been his vision for Jeadepo Statutory District and Sinoe County.

“We have been constantly labeled as a county with the least development by Liberian standards,” he pointed out, adding “we must take some dramatic and drastic steps aimed at improving the situation.”

Saylee pointed out that it is “necessary and importantly correct for us” to get out of the mindset that Sinoe County is Greenville and Greenville is Sinoe County.

He added: “In order to be inclusive in the development of the county, each and every sector must be represented in the county government so as to maximize the allocation and appropriation of resources in the county.”

Officials of JDC installed were David Sloh, Chairman; Prince Suku, Vice Chairman; Allen Jaurey, Secretary-General and Joanna Manjoe, Treasurer.

Saylee admonished the leadership to “put the membership first, Jeadepo first, Sinoe County first and the people of Liberia first.”
