On Sunday, President Joseph N. Boakai and entourage paid homage and mourned two fallen government officials in Montserrado and Grand Bassa counties.
The fallen officials’ families whom the President visited included Grand Bassa County’s Superintendent, Julia Bondo, and Minister of Internal Affairs, Brown B. Sarlee.
Earlier, the President visited the home of the late Muslim centenarian in Chocolate City, where the end of the forty-day observance of his death by the family, the Muslim community, the President, government officials, and so on, was done. The President gave US$2,000 to the fallen Muslim’s prelate family, went to the late Internal Minister’s house in Barnersville, solaced the family, left an undisclosed amount there and departed for Grand Bassa County.
In Grand Bassa County, the President signed the book of condolence for the late Superintendent Bondo, comforted the family, the county, and visited Senate Pro Tempore Nyonblee Karngar-Lawrence’s residence.
During the President’s visit in Grand Bassa County, citizens and family members welcomed him with a funeral dirge, saying that the late superintendent was people-centered, patriotic, committed, and jovial. They added that she will be missed for her humanitarian services rendered to the people of Grand Bassa County and Liberia at large.
In a tone of uniformity, the Bassa citizens appealed to President Boakai to appoint someone like the fallen superintendent who will seek the interest of the people and the county.
