Dr. Bhofal Chambers has assured Liberians living and studying in Rwanda of the Liberian government’s continued commitment and support toward their educational endeavor.
The Speaker, who is heading a legislative delegation to the Republic of Rwanda, told his compatriots that their desire to acquire advanced education cannot be dashed away by the Weah administration, because it is the administration’s first and foremost priority.
“The Legislature will continue to appropriate and allot more budgetary support toward the educational sector, and you can depend on us that your concerns will be addressed upon our arrival back home,” the Maryland lawmaker asserted.
He spoke recently at the University of Lay Adventist of Kigali when members of the Liberian student community presented a petition outlining some of their plights in relation to the lack of support and delay in payment of their school fees and stipend.
Meanwhile, the Speaker provided one-year scholarship to five highly performing students in Rwanda.
Members of the legislative delegation include Representative Acarous Gray, Chairman on Executive; Representative Johnson Gwaikolo, Chairman on Rules, Orders and Administration; and Representative Mathew Zarzar, Co-Chair on Ways, Means, Finance & Development Planning.
The high-power legislative delegation left Liberia on Wednesday, September 8, 2021 to honor an invitation from the Speaker of the Parliament of Rwanda, Rt. Mukabalisa Donatille, to strengthen legislative relations between both parliaments.
